It is with great pleasure that I can inform you that Lantmannen Unibake has acquired the leading Belgian bakery company, Belpan. The acquisition is part of our global growth strategy to secure a leading position in the international market. Belpan is a solid and attractive company, whose values and high quality standards match very well to Unibake. The company is well known for producing outstanding croissant products, baked from an ancient French recipe named Pastridor � a great supplement to our pastry and bread assortment. Furthermore, Belpan has strong competencies in baguettes and snack products. All Belpan�s products are made in top modern bakeries in Belgium. Belpan operates primarily in Central and Southern Europe, but we expect to carry the total assortment to our customers all over the world, and we also expect a future position in the fast growing coffee shop segment. We are very proud of being the new owners of Belpan and look forward to present you with our world-class assortment � in quality, food safety and range. Best regards, Lantmännen Unibake Finland Tom Räihä Sales Unit Manager
