As an international organisation, Agrifirm is a leader in the agricultural sector. The acquisition of the Polish compound feed company Bacutil is in line with the strategy aimed at expanding the core activities compound feed, arable farming, horticulture and specialties. The growth of the foreign activities in areas such as Central and Eastern Europe is an important strategic focal point.

Bacutil is a company that mainly focuses on the poultry sector, both broiler chickens and laying hens, and has a production site in Bedlno Radzyńskie, in East Poland. Due to the favourable location of Bacutil, also in combination with the spread of the other production sites in Poland, Agrifirm has practically realised national coverage. The company is now present in all major agricultural production areas in Poland. The Bacutil production site currently has a capacity of 100,000 tonnes per year.

‘With this acquisition, we are taking an important step towards our goal, namely a top 3 position in Poland,' says John Dortmans, Director of Agrifirm Central and Eastern Europe. ‘It is our mission to supply relevant, measurable and sustainable value to our customers. We do this by providing our customers with sustainable, high-quality feed concepts and advice, which will enable our customers to maximise the profit on their farms.

We have been very successful in achieving this in recent years. With this acquisition and through further autonomous growth, the top 3 is therefore within reach.'
