Nutreco has completed the sale of its majority shareholding in Integra, Czech Republic, to Hendrix Genetics. Hendrix Genetics owned already 34% in Integra.

 

Integra is a layer pullet and hatchery business and was part of Nutreco's subsidiary Trouw Nutrition Biofaktory, the premix and specialty feed company acquired in the Czech Republic in 2008. The company has 80 employees and owns 2 hatcheries in the Czech Republic.

 

The sale of Integra is in line with Nutreco's strategy to focus on further growth of its global market positions in feed specialties and fish feed and to strengthen its leading compound feed market positions in Canada, the Netherlands and Spain.
