ForFarmers acquires 80.000 tons of compound feed

ForFarmers has acquired Beukelaar Diervoeders, a company based in Uden, Brabant, primarily specializing in poultry feed and pig feed. The deal, which is not subject to antitrust approval, is effective immediately. 

Beukelaar Diervoeders has been supplying animal feed in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany since 2005, but outsources production and logistics to third parties. In the Netherlands, there is intensive collaboration with Vitelia. A ForFarmers spokesperson stated that the annual volume is approximately 80.000 tons, and the intention is for ForFarmers to eventually handle the production and logistics itself. However, Beukelaar will remain an independent entity within ForFarmers. 

ForFarmers aims to further strengthen its position in its domestic markets, of which the Netherlands is the most important, through acquisitions. Last summer, ForFarmers acquired Van Triest Veevoeders.

Next Thursday, ForFarmers will announce its third-quarter results.
