Nutri Group acquires full ownership in Ovale Eggs

Nutri Group noted the acquisition will improve the company’s position in segments such as grading, processing and marketing eggs and their derivatives.

Following the deal, the company will have six modern and high-performance plants across Canada.

Ovale Eggs, based in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon on Québec City’s south shore, specializes in egg grading, packaging and distribution throughout supermarket and grocery networks across Québec and New Brunswick.

Including several added-value varieties, around 30 million dozen eggs leave Ovale Eggs’ plant each year.

Nutri Group board chairman Michel Gauvin said the firm’s sustained growth over the past few years is culminating with this major and strategic acquisition.

"Moreover, our recent acquisitions highlight our willingness to keep driving excellence and meet the industry’s highest standards. This enables us to better serve our clients, thereby improving our position at the national level within a very competitive environment," Gauvin added.
