PROFILE |
 |
Some companies might claim to be the best thing since sliced bread, but Associated British Foods (ABF) "is" sliced bread. ABF, which introduced sliced bread in the UK during the 1930s, makes the UK's popular Allinson and Kingsmill brands. ABF also serves up a full dish of teatime snacks, including Ryvita crispbread, Nelsons jams, and Twinings teas. The company sold its Burtons Biscuits unit to US investment firm Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst. Its British Sugar subsidiary makes Silver Spoon sugar; other divisions make glass, food ingredients, and feed. ABF operates the Penneys and Primark clothing store chains in Ireland and the UK. The Weston family owns about 60% of the company.
