Lantmännen completed the acquisition of Swedish business of HKScan for €65m.

Lantmännen, a Swedish agricultural cooperative, completed the acquisition of the Swedish business of HKScan, a Finnish manufacturer of meat foods and products, for $70m. "The divestment of the Swedish business will strengthen HKScan's balance sheet. In addition, the sale will allow us to better focus on our remaining businesses and implement our long-term strategy. We will continue to operate on our foundations as a strongly Finnish but internationally active listed company. Our market position is significant and we have strong brands. Our strategic goal is to grow into a versatile food company," Juha Ruohola, HKScan CEO.
