Prinova is one of many candidates CJ is considering acquiring, according to sources.
Prinova is a global supplier to the food and nutrition industries. Industry watchers expect acquisition of the firm to surpass 1 trillion won ($900 million). CJ CheilJedang has been aggressively pursuing mergers and acquisitions to tackle the overseas market.
In November 2018, the company acquired US frozen food specialist firm Schwan’s Co. for approximately 2 trillion won.
