The Pepsi owner wants to buy the Lincolnshire company that was founded by three farmers in 2004.
Graham Watson's insight:
Nice work if you can get it - a merger of unequals, as PepsiCo launches a bid for UK crisp company Pipers. A conglomerate merger, part of creating a broader-based global food and beverage brand, but are there obvious advantages to the move as far as PepsiCo are concerned? Or is it just a good move from the farmers' perspective.

It seems inevitable that we are moving towards a world with increasingly plastic-free packaging, and the crisp market is one which most obviously would benefit from such a move.
This BBC clip looks at how a number of pioneers, both in the UK and in Canada have invested in trying to go biodegradable and it seems that these producers are starting to get a toehold in the market, with Humble Chips, Two Farmers and Spudos leading the way and giant companies, like Walkers, owned by US giant Pepsico.
