Nutreco has completed acquisition of Brazilian animal nutrition company Bigsal.
Nutreco announced that it has completed an agreement to acquire Bigsal from H.I.G. Capital. As of July 1, Bigsal, whose plant is located in the state of Rondônia, became part of Nutreco’s animal nutrition division Trouw Nutrition. This investment is key to expanding and strengthening Trouw Nutrition’s business in northern Brazil.
“The acquisition of Bigsal will strengthen the position of Trouw Nutrition within the growing Brazilian market, specifically in the beef and dairy sectors. Bigsal will add an extensive and modern product portfolio including several product lines aimed at increasing livestock productivity to Trouw Nutrition’s high-tech and service-oriented solutions. Furthermore, this acquisition aims to provide customised products and services to Trouw Nutrition customers all the while bringing us closer to farmers in one of the largest agricultural and livestock markets in the world,” said Nutreco CEO Rob Koremans.
Founded in 2003, Bigsal is a market leader in the animal nutrition market in northern Brazil with a complete portfolio that ranges from farm minerals to complete feeds focused on beef and dairy cattle.
The acquisition of Bigsal aligns with Trouw Nutrition’s expansion strategy in Brazil and Latin America (LATAM) and will add more capabilities to the Trouw Nutrition portfolio.
