PROFILE |
 |
Getting caught with a hand in the cookie jar is a good sign at United Biscuits Holdings (UB), the UK's leading biscuit (cookies and crackers) maker. It operates in two segments: biscuits and snacks. Brands in the Biscuits segment include Oreos and Chips Ahoy! (obtained through the company's acquisition of Nabisco's European brands), as well as stalwarts BN, Delacre, and McVitie's. Snack segment brands include KP Snacks, Derwent Valley Foods, and KP Nuts. UB operates in five European countries outside the UK and imports worldwide. UB is 87% owned by investment consortium Finalrealm (includes Groupe Danone) and Burlington Biscuits (owned by Nabsico and Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst and Nabisco).
