Eckes waits for Stock to mature

Article Abstract:

Italian brandy manufacturer Stock first began considering links with a foreign group in 1992. The various family groupings which still controlled the company were unable to reach an acceptable agreement, so it was decided to go ahead with a full sale. German concern Eckes was identified as a potential purchaser, but an initial meeting did not take place until the second half of 1993. The deal was finally completed in May 1995.
