Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, the controlling shareholder and chair of the eponymous Dutch family firm founded in 1851, has said she plans to increase her family trust’s stake in the company, buying out family members not part of the trust.
In an interview with Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung am Sonntag, Louis-Dreyfus said she was prepared to buy as many shares in Louis Dreyfus Commodities as possible, beginning immediately.
