ミツカングループ（愛知県半田市）はユニリーバ
「ラグー アンド ベルトッリ」は米国で著名なパスタソースのブランド。買収は２０１４年６月末までに完了する見通し。
ミツカンのファイナンシャルアドバイザーはゴールドマン・サックス。
ユニリーバは４月、ラグーを含む北米パスタソース事業や経営不振の「スリムファースト」部門などを見直すと発表しており、両社の思惑が一致した。
ミツカンは、グローバル展開を加速させるため、今年３月から社名を英語表記に変更。従来は日本を除く事業を海外事業として一括管理していたが、「日本とアジア」「北米」「欧州」の３地域に分けて運営し、資金管理なども地域ごとに行う体制に変えていた。
ミツカンは１９７０年代終盤に米国に進出し、１５の生産拠点を持つ。これまでにニューメキシコ州のボーダー・フーズを傘下に収め、コショウやエンチラーダソースなどの製品も提供するようになった。
