Oeneo and Tonnellerie François Frères enter into exclusive negotiations for sale of the Radoux division
The Oeneo and Tonnellerie François Frères groups are announcing that they have entered into exclusive negotiations regarding the possible sale of Oeneo's Radoux division, including notably the Tonnellerie Radoux and Pronektar brands.
Headed by Jérôme François, the Tonnellerie François Frères group is a major global player in barrel-making.
Should negotiations prove conclusive any agreement of sale would be signed only following discussions with the employee representative bodies concerned and with the approval of Oeneo's board of directors.
The sale would remain subject to the waiver of conditions precedent.
