Refresco to buy Norway soft-drinks group Telemark Kildevann
Dutch drinks group Refresco has agreed to acquire Norway-based soft-drinks manufacturer Telemark Kildevann (TKV). In a statement, Refresco said the purchase 'further strengthens its presence and operational capabilities to service customers across the Nordics'. Refresco's operations in Europe include assets in Finland. Family-owned TKV makes soft drinks and bottled water, supplying branded customers and retailers in Norway and Sweden. The company runs two production facilities in the Norwegian towns of Fyresdal and Aurskog. More than 60 TKV employees will become part of Refresco's workforce of over 14,000 once the deal is completed, which is expected to be later this year. The transaction, struck for an undisclosed sum, is awaiting regulatory approval. Refresco CEO Hans Roelofs said: 'TKV's loyal customer base, strong capabilities, and well-established market position enhances our ability to serve retailers and branded customers in Norway, Sweden and beyond.' Just Drinks approached Refresco for further comment but had not received a response at the time of writing. The move for TKV is the company's first acquisition of 2025. Last year, the company snapped up Spanish plant-based beverage maker Frías Nutrición, purchased a production site from German beverage group Berentzen-Gruppe and bought US-based VBC Bottling Company, a fellow contract manufacturer. In May last year, Rotterdam-based Refresco opened its first European plant-based production line in Germany, marking an entry into the oat drinks' market. As part of the deal for the Berentzen-Gruppe facility, Refresco also bought the mineral-water brands Märkisch Kristall and Grüneberg Quelle. "Refresco to buy Norway soft-drinks group Telemark Kildevann" was originally created and published by Just Drinks, a GlobalData owned brand.

Advertisement The Premier League finishing position need not be repeated here… let's just hope we never see the like of it again. Off the pitch, United have confirmed they have reached an agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign Matheus Cunha. While Bruno Fernandes is giving serious consideration to a move to Saudi Arabia. All this and we haven't yet mentioned head coach Ruben Amorim or the decisions made by INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Sweden faces call to halt international adoptions after inquiry finds abuses and fraud
STOCKHOLM (AP) — A Swedish commission recommended Monday that international adoptions be stopped after an investigation found a series of abuses and fraud dating back decades. Sweden is the latest country to examine its international adoption policies after allegations of unethical practices, particularly in South Korea, The commission was formed in 2021 following a report by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter detailing the Scandinavian country's problematic international adoption system. Monday's recommendations were sent to Minister of Social Services Camilla Waltersson Grönvall. 'The assignment was to investigate whether there had been irregularities that the Swedish actors knew about, could have done and actually did,' Anna Singer, a legal expert and the head of the commission, told a press conference. 'And actors include everyone who has had anything to do with international adoption activities. 'It includes the government, the supervisory authority, organization, municipalities and courts. The conclusion is that there have been irregularities in the international adoptions to Sweden.' The commission called on the government to formally apologize to adoptees and their families. Investigators found confirmed cases of child trafficking in every decade from the 1970s to the 2000s, including from Sri Lanka, Colombia, Poland and China. Singer said a public apology, besides being important for those who are personally affected, can help raise awareness about the violations because there is a tendency to download the existence and significance of the abuses. An Associated Press investigation, also documented by Frontline (PBS), last year reported dubious child-gathering practices and fraudulent paperwork involving South Korea's foreign adoption program, which peaked in the 1970s and `80s amid huge Western demands for babies. The AP and Frontline spoke with more than 80 adoptees in the U.S., Australia and Europe and examined thousands of pages of documents to reveal evidence of kidnapped or missing children ending up abroad, fabricated child origins, babies switched with one another and parents told their newborns were gravely sick or dead, only to discover decades later they'd been sent to new parents overseas. The findings are challenging the international adoption industry, which was built on the model created in South Korea. The Netherlands last year announced it would no longer allow its citizens to adopt from abroad. Denmark's only international adoption agency said it was shutting down and Switzerland apologized for failing to prevent illegal adoptions. France released a scathing assessment of its own culpability. South Korea sent around 200,000 children to the West for adoptions in the past six decades, with more than half of them placed in the U.S. Along with France and Denmark, Sweden was a major European destination of South Korean children, adopting nearly 10,000 of them since the 1960s.
