Valcrest has a strong presence in goat’s cheese and other speciality cheeses. It has three production sites and a turnover of close to EUR50m (US$69m).
“Through this merger plan, Eurial and Valcrest can re-inforce their position in added value goat’s cheeses as well as regional specialty cheeses made from cow’s milk,” a joint statement reads.
Valcrest will benefit from Eurial’s commercial network and gain access to a wider market for its products. For Eurial, the tie-up will offer new supply options for goat’s milk where it has recently experienced difficulties.
