Plukon Food Group has bought another poultry business in Spain, snapping up Avícola Moraleja.
Otherwise trading as Avimosa, Avícola Moraleja builds on last year’s transaction for Grupo Avícola Hidalgo, a supplier of poultry products to retail, B2B and foodservice customers.
Financial terms for both of those deals were not disclosed by Netherlands-headquartered Plukon Food.
Avimosa operates across the supply chain, including feed production, hatching, farming and processing. It supplies fresh and prepared poultry products to the retail and out-of-home channels, along with eggs.
Plukon Food said in a statement yesterday (27 May) that Avimosa posted revenues last year of €56m ($65.1m). It operates out of four facilities in the provinces of Madrid and Toledo and employs more than 250 people.
The main slaughterhouse and processing plant is located at Moraleja de Enmedio in Madrid. It also has a poultry farm in Añover de Tajo and an incubator facility in Villaseca de la Sagra, both in Toledo. Avimosa also has a feed factory in the region.
Plukon Food CEO Kees Kraijenoord said: “Their strong focus on quality, animal welfare, and regional expertise makes them an excellent fit for our European growth strategy.
“This acquisition further strengthens our position in central Spain, enhances our vertical integration, including local feed and poultry production, and accelerates our ability to deliver high-value poultry products to retail and foodservice customers across the Iberian Peninsula.”
Plukon Food said it operates 41 facilities in Europe across seven countries and generated a turnover of €4bn last year. The company employs 12,000 staff.
Plukon Food’s portfolio features fresh poultry, meals and salads. Last year, it acquired a dedicated plant-based protein facility after striking a deal for the vegan and vegetarian business Vega Insiders, also based in the Netherlands.
Vega Insiders supplies fresh and frozen products such as vegan minced meat, bacon and cheese bites.
Other deals have been struck by Plukon Food in recent years, including that of Spanish poultry producer Sambau in 2024, along with Redondo. It also bought Algas SP in Poland that year.
