Bunzl PLC’s (LON:BNZL) shopping spree isn’t over yet.
The distribution and outsourcing group has delivered on an earlier promise to keep its purse open with the announcement Thursday of two acquisitions: California-based Revco, a workplace-safety and personal-protection-equipment maker, and a deal for UK-based Aggora Group, a commercial catering supplier.
The two deals follow 11 acquisitions made in 2017 worth about £550mln.

Financial terms were not disclosed but Bunzl said that Revco is expected to book sales of US$37mln for the full year ending December 2017, while Aggora booked £27mln for the year ended in March 2017.
Bunzl also updated its view on the effect of US tax-law changes on its US-based operations, indicating it expects a lower corporate tax rate of 24% for fiscal 2018. The company saw no effect for 2017.
Bunzl also announced that it has received an offer to sell OPM, a France-based distributor of Sodastream International Ltd. (NASDAQ:SODA) products. Terms of the deal were not provided, but the sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.
Bunzl shares rose 2% to £20.45 in morning trading.
