Meat alternative brand Quorn will benefit from greater investment, better buying power and more marketing clout as part of a larger food company, the new owner Premier Foods has claimed.
Premier snapped up Quorn's owner Marlow Foods for £172m, representing its first move into the chilled and frozen arena.
Analysts said there was a considerable opportunity for Premier to grow Quorn's presence overseas and in catering.
One said: "Quorn generated sales of more than £3m in the US in just two years. The recent deal with McDonald's is also a sign of things to come. While relatively small, this has grown into a £2m business in just over a year."
