根据好时方面9月28日提供的信息，目前已完成对金丝猴80%股权的收购和交割。
金丝猴创办人、董事长兼总经理赵启三向《每日新闻》记者表示，“目前公司的产品中，增速最大的是巧克力和休闲食品，在15%以上。”
在不少业内人士看来，对本土品牌进行收购的好时正在复制雀巢的收购模式，加码对中国市场的布局。目前外资巧克力商，无论是费列罗还是玛氏食品，都加大了对中国市场的布局。
“此次战略性收购推进了我们国际化发展的进程。”好时国际部总裁博方索向《每日经济新闻》记者表示，好时将利用上海金丝猴公司的标志性品牌、多样化的产品系列以及销售力量来实现增长。
在不少业内人士看来，收购金丝猴不仅使得好时有机会进一步深入中国市场，同时扩大产品品类。
好时称，收购金丝猴后，中国市场有望在2015年底成为好时在全球的第二大市场，净销售额达到约5亿美元（以当前汇率计算），其中除了50%的巧克力产品外，30%为非巧克力糖果，其余20%为休闲食品。
事实上，觊觎中国巧克力市场的不仅仅是好时一家。记者了解到，玛氏食品今年也在上海设立了亚洲第一家M&MS巧克力旗舰店，希望借助M&MS巧克力豆品牌来深耕中国市场。（中国进出口网整理编译）
