German private equity fund ECM Capital Management said Wednesday it will acquire German bakery chain Kamps GmbH from Italian pasta maker Barilla G. e R. Fratelli SpA.

ECM and Barilla didn't disclose details of the transaction but people familiar with the matter said the sale price will likely be a middle two-digit million euro figure.

A previous attempt by Barilla to sell Kamps for around EUR100 million fell through in 2008.

Kamps is one of Germany's largest retail bakery chains with around 900 locations and about 1,000 employees.
