Mars To Buy Kellanova For $36B, Snickers Maker Moves Up A Rank On Largest Private Company List
Other notable American private companies that did not break the top five include Mars — the packaged food conglomerate that owns Snickers, Cheez-It and other snack brands — will soon add Pop-Tarts, Eggo Waffles, Pringles and more to its portfolio.
What Happened: The McLean, Virginia-based company is set to acquire Kellanova (NYSE:K) for $36 billion, or $83.50 a share.
火星公司是一家包裝食品聯合企業，擁有太妃糖、Cheez-It和其他零食品牌，不久還將加入Pop-Tarts、Eggo Waffles、Pringles等品牌。
發生了什麼：總部位於弗吉尼亞州麥克林的公司將以每股83.50美元的價格，斥資360億美元收購Kellanova (紐交所:K)。
Kellanova brought in around $13 billion in revenue last year, while Mars' annual revenue was around $45 billion. The two companies were reportedly working out the details earlier this month after Kellanova reported strong second-quarter results.
Kellanova去年營業額約爲130億美元，而火星的年營業收入約爲450億美元。兩家公司據報道在本月早些時候商量細節，此次交易如果在2025年之前完成，將幫助火星超越Publix，成爲美國第三大私營公司，排名前五的最大美國私營公司如下：

The transaction, should it finalize in 2025, would help Mars leapfrog Publix to become the third-largest American private company behind Koch Industries. Until then, the top-five ranking of the largest U.S. privately held companies is as follows:
亞馬遜購買了歷史悠久的佈雷影視工作室，該工作室以「德古拉」和「弗蘭肯斯坦的詛咒」著名。

- Cargill, Incorporated: The Minnesota-based agricultural and food company specializes in oils for processed foods. Cargill does more than $175 billion in revenue annually, according to Forbes.

- Mars is known for making confectionery items, including Mars bars, Twix, Milky Way and Three Musketeers. It also produces non-confectionery snacks (i.e., Combos, Ben's Original and Dolmio pasta sauce) and an array of pet foods.
- H-E-B Grocery Company is fifth on the list, raking in around $44 billion in revenue annually. Like Publix, H-E-B has carved out a significant market in the southern U.S., with most of its locations in Texas.

- H-E-b Grocery Company位居第五，每年營業收入約爲440億美元。像Publix一樣，H-E-b在美國南部開拓了大量市場，其大部分門店位於德克薩斯州。
- 其他知名的美國私營公司未打破前五名，包括樂高（營業額約100億美元）、Chick-fil-A（營業額約120億美元）和Staples（約80億美元營業額）。
Other notable American private companies that did not break the top five include Lego (around $10 billion in revenue), Chick-fil-A (around $12 billion in revenue) and Staples (around $8 billion in revenue).
這些公司上個月共同實施的企業社會責任項目旨在加強Kellanova與農業和其他板塊之間的聯繫，這將進一步推動Kellanova的發展——其中農產品和其他板塊始終是其最核心的領域。
