Spain-based meat processor Grupo Vall Companys has struck a deal to buy the majority of local poultry firm Grupo Sada.
Vall Companys, Spain’s largest poultry company, has agreed to buy 75% of Grupo Sada – and all of its subsidiary Sada Canarias – from Netherlands agri-food business Nutreco. Grupo Sada is among the country’s top five players.
The transaction, struck for an undisclosed sum, remains subject to the approval of Spain’s competition watchdog, the CNMC.
Grupo Sada supplies poultry products to retailers and the foodservice sector. It has five plants, with four on the Spanish mainland and another in Tenerife.
In a statement, Nutreco said: “The intention is to transfer control of Grupo Sada to Vall Companys Group. The transaction is subject to the CNMC’s authorisation. Until we have the CNMC’s final decision, no further comment will be made on the transaction.”
