Nov 25 Syngenta, which fended off a $47 billion takeover approach from Monsanto three months ago, is itself looking at takeovers, joint ventures or asset sales, the Swiss company's chairman told a newspaper on Wednesday.
"The role that we want is an active one and that is reflected in how we negotiate. Takeovers, joint ventures or partial sales are under consideration," Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger quoted Michel Demare as saying in a joint interview with interim CEO John Ramsay published on Wednesday.
"I would be surprised if no transaction materialises in the next half year," Demare added.
