Crisps brand Burts Snacks has been acquired by France-based food producer Europe Snacks for an undisclosed sum.
The Plymouth-headquartered company, which posted sales of £68m in its last financial year, said it will “remain committed” to its UK manufacturing sites, where it employs around 350 people.
The firm, founded in 1995, will continue to operate its factories in Devon and Leicester under managing director Dave McNulty.
