Wild is looking to go public - an announcement that could shake up competitors if the German flavour powerhouse capitalizes on investment and fine tunes its operations.
"My main concern is to secure the future of the company, which my parents founded in 1931 and that I have further developed into a successful international enterprise,"said Wild owner, Hans-Peter Wild.
Wild plans to list in two years and in the meantime said it will lay foundations for the shift by means of measures such as the introduction of Oracle software and IFRS Accounting Standards.
