The move follows a merger between HKScan Finland Oy and Ruokatalo Oy. This, in turn, follows the integration of Järvi-Suomen Portti Oy and Helanderin Teurastamo Oy into the Ruokatalo business.
HKScan is under pressure to improve profitability. In April last year, it announced a two-year streamlining programme designed to achieve efficiency savings of EUR20m (US$26.5m) annually.
“By simplifying its corporate structure HKScan aims to harmonize the group’s operational processes and streamline its internal administration,” HKScan said today. “The employees from the merging companies transfer to HK Ruokatalo Oy without loss of holiday and similar entitlements.”
In August, the firm unveiled streamlining plans in Sweden.
