Hevo Group Acquires German Egg Supplier Müritz to Expand European Presence
Hevo Group, the Spanish egg supplier backed by Brazil's Global Eggs, has acquired Germany-based Müritz. The acquisition marks Hevo’s entry into the German market and expands its annual production capacity to approximately 180 million dozen eggs per year. Müritz supplies major retailers like Edeka with organic and free-range eggs from six farms located north of Berlin. Hevo Group described the deal as part of a broader growth strategy aimed at consolidating a European production platform and strengthening ties with key food retail operators across Europe. CEO André Baldissera emphasized building resilience through geographical diversification, solid production structures, and long-term vision in an increasingly volatile market environment. Global Eggs has been expanding its footprint since 2024, having acquired Hillandale Farms for $1.1 billion last year and El Granjero in Spain the same period. In March of this year, it secured a $1 billion investment from Warburg Pincus at an implied valuation of $8 billion.
