ForFarmers N.V.: ForFarmers expands in Poland through acquisition
of Piast Pasze Sp. z.o.o.
Lochem, 25 July 2023
ForFarmers expands in Poland through acquisition of
Piast Pasze Sp. z.o.o.
ForFarmers/Tasomix has come to an agreement with Piast Pasze Sp.
z.o.o. (‘Piast’) to merge their feed activities. The volume of
ForFarmers/Tasomix will consequently increase by 410,000 tonnes. In
addition, ForFarmers/Tasomix will strengthen its position in the
broiler sector in particular. The transaction is pending the
approval of the Polish competition authority. Closing of the
transaction is expected to take place in the fourth quarter of
2023.
ForFarmers/Tasomix is a large feed producer with over 30 years
of experience on the Polish market. The company has a strong
position in the poultry sector and also focuses on growing its
position in both the ruminant and pig sector. One of the strategic
objectives of ForFarmers/Tasomix is to expand in the attractive
Polish agricultural market. The acquisition of Piast is entirely in
line with this objective.
Piast offers great cooperation opportunities
The history of Piast dates back to the 1970s with its original
location in Lewkowiec (Central Poland) that mainly focused on
broiler and turkey farmers in the free market. Over time, Piast
expanded its portfolio of products for pigs and cattle and acquired
additional production locations in Plonsk, Golancz and Olesno.
There are 220 employees involved in management, sales, and
production.
Due to the location of the mills of Piast versus those of
ForFarmers/Tasomix, it is possible to create dedicated mills to be
able to produce more efficiently. The larger geographical footprint
provides opportunities to enlarge the customer base. In addition,
Piast owns two unique poultry feed technologies, which are cost
efficient, can well be applied at ForFarmers/Tasomix and also fit
with the sustainability strategy.
Pawel Swierkula, Managing Director of ForFarmers/Tasomix: “This
cooperation is a great step forward for both parties. Piast and
ForFarmers/Tasomix have similar company cultures and the same
attitude towards customers. Working together offers us a larger
operating area in centers of growth in our country and will
therefore help us to enhance the solid platform to further develop
and improve a sustainable future for our business.”
Adam Plewiński, co-owner of Piast, states: “We are very
optimistic about the transfer of our feed activities to
ForFarmers/Tasomix. This will bring many benefits and new
perspectives to our customers who will be able to benefit from the
vast experience and knowledge that this international company has.
We look forward to working with their management to make this
transaction a success.”
