Japanese Firm to Buy Tyson's Circle Foods
USAgNet - 03/22/2018

Tyson Foods plans to sell its Circle Foods operations to Ajinomoto Co. Inc., one of the largest food producers in Japan. In an email sent Monday, Springdale-based Tyson said it is working with Ajinomoto Windsor, the parent company's U.S. subsidiary, on a transition plan.

Ajinomoto Windsor will spend about $48 million, with $28 million for land and building costs and about $20 million for production assets, Ajinomoto Windsor Vice President Paul Taylor* said.

Tyson first approached Ajinomoto last year with plans to sell Circle Foods, a maker of tortillas and flatbreads, Taylor said. The agreement will close April 15.

Walmart Inc. is expanding a partnership with on-demand services platform Handy.com, giving customers a chance to hire helpers for tasks such as television installation or furniture assembly.

The Bentonville-based retailer said Monday that the service will be available in about 2,000 U.S. stores, building on what had been a 25-store test in Atlanta. Through the partnership, Walmart customers can purchase Handy's services at checkout and schedule an appointment between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. The cost for installing a television, for example, starts at $79.
