Wipro acquires Yardley UK business for an undisclosed amount

Wipro has acquired Yardley's businesses in the UK and other select European nations for an undisclosed amount. The company announced on Tuesday that it has signed an agreement with Lornamead Group to acquire the Yardley business in the UK and many other select countries of Europe (excluding Germany and Austria), the Indian firm said in a statement.



Earlier in December 2009, Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting, the FMCG arm of Wipro, had acquired the Yardley portfolio for Asia, West Asia, North Africa and Australasia from Lornamead.

Wipro will also acquire the Woods of Windsor business, another heritage brand in the UK, the firm said.
