Scandi Standard Acquires Irish Chicken Producer Glenhaven Foods
Swedish poultry group Scandi Standard has agreed to acquire Ireland-based chicken producer Glenhaven Foods for an enterprise value of €127 million ($145.7 million). The deal is expected to strengthen the company's position in ready-to-eat and value-added chicken products, particularly in Ireland and the UK markets. Glenhaven Foods operates from Arklow in County Wicklow and supplies retail, foodservice, and quick-service restaurant customers across Ireland and the UK. It employs around 190 people and produces fully cooked frozen chicken items such as goujons, shredded options, and fillets. Scandi Standard plans to finance the acquisition using a combination of existing credit facilities and proceeds from a rights issue. The transaction is expected to close in Q3 2026. The deal follows recent international expansion moves by Scandi Standard, including acquisitions in the Netherlands and Lithuania.
