Troubled Atlas African Industries says it is seeking new business acquisitions in the continent following its decision to exit Ethiopia by selling its bottle manufacturing plant.

The loss-making logistics firm, which is listed on the Nairobi bourse, announced on Friday that it is divesting from TEAP Glass after Ethiopian authorities forcefully seized its $2.4 million (Sh240 million) following a tax dispute.
