Caroli Foods will hold the majority stake of 51% while Campofrio will hold 49%.
The board of the newly-formed joint venture will be formed of five members, representatives of Caroli Foods and Campofrio, and will be chaired by Talal El-Solh. Haluk Akdemir, the current CEO of Caroli Foods will take up the chief executive role in the new joint-venture.
The deal will be subject to Competition Council scrutiny.
