Refresco, Europe's largest juice and soft-drink bottler, said Wednesday it has launched negotiations with Paris-based investor PAI partners after receiving a 1.6 billion euro ($1.9 billion) takeover bid.
The Rotterdam-based company had "carefully reviewed" an offer which was "an unsolicited, indicative and conditional proposal from PAI," Refresco said in a statement.
Since the offer was made on October 3 contacts have "taken place with PAI on a number of topics, including the financial and non-financial conditions," and Refresco "has now entered into negotiations with PAI."
The Dutch independent bottler, which works with brands such as Innocent and Del Monte, had fended off an initial offer from the private equity firm in April worth 1.4 bn euros.
The company bottles soft drinks and fruit juices for retailers across mainland Europe, Britain and the United States.
It employs some 5,500 people and last year bottled some 6.5 billion litres of soft drinks and juice, earning a net profit of 81.5 million euros.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
