After Carrefour on the stock exchange, NewPrinces is also considering a listing in London.

MILAN – From the grocery market to the stock market, the step can be very short. This is the case with NewPrinces Group , which, after acquiring Carrefour's Italian operations in recent weeks , is now reportedly preparing for a London listing as well. The Sunday Times reports that the former Newlat, already listed in Milan and owned by the Matrolia family, "is sounding out investors about an imminent listing."

The newspaper adds that "the listing of NewPrinces' international food business, which is expected to value the company at around £700 million, is expected in the autumn and comes as other companies are thought to be looking to list their shares in London." NewPrinces, listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, is an agri-food company based in Reggio Emilia that controls Centrale del Latte d'Italia and whose brands in Italy also include Polenghi , Delverde , and Plasmon . In the UK, it is known for brands such as Princes Tuna, Crisp 'n Dry , and Napolina.
