McCormick & Company, Incorporated is seeking acquisitions. Alan Wilson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Acquisitions, because we believe investing in growth is important. We have some CapEx, as we are expanding our facilities in China and Poland specifically, and investing in a new flavor technology in the US, which we are very keen on.

And we think will have a positive impact long-term, on margins in that business. But we have room as we do acquisitions for cash repurchases, with at least the Wuhan acquisition that we have on the table right now, we will continue to buy back shares. We are always in the market.

We see some level of activity. I would say it's not as robust as we have seen in some years, but we still have -- we have some good targets and continue conversations at expanding our footprint."
