Koh Poh Tiong, the CEO of Fraser & Neave’s food and beverage business, said: “The acquisition of King’s Creameries is in line with our strategy to scale up our existing ice cream business in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, thereby strengthening its overall market presence and position. It paves the way for us to review our combined operations to extract synergies as well as consolidate and offer a complementary portfolio of brands and products to satisfy a diversity of consumer segments.”
