Poultry producer MHP to acquire Perutnina Ptuj

Ukraine-based poultry producer MHP has announced plans to acquire Perutnina Ptuj, a vertically integrated company in Slovenia.

MHP confirmed its intent to acquire the Slovenian firm through an announcement from Bundeswettbewerbsbehörde, the federal competition authority of Austria.

The proposed acquisition is part of the company’s strategic expansion strategy and is set to strengthen its position in the global market.

Perutnina Ptuj focuses on the production of chicken, turkey and pork meat products. Its acquisition is expected to complement MHP’s offerings, helping the company establish a brand presence.

Following the acquisition, MHP plans to support Perutnina Ptuj’s product portfolio through investment and further development. It will use its experienced management team to improve the quality of Perutnina Ptuj’s production base and help it achieve European quality standards.

In addition, the combination of MHS and Perutnina Ptuj is expected to bring direct benefits to local farmers and employees and will have a positive impact on the poultry industry in the Balkan region.

MHP currently owns poultry cutting facilities in the Netherlands and Slovakia, as well as a sales and distribution office in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

MHP is involved in every stage of chicken production processes, from feed grains and fodder production to egg hatching, processing, marketing, distribution and sales.

Around 60% of the company’s products are distributed in the domestic market, while the remaining 40% is exported to more than 60 countries worldwide.
