Fledgling Origin’s plucky buy all in the timing

ONLY time will tell how shrewd a move the €80 million purchase of Masstock was by Origin Enterprises in mid-January.

The new business provides crop and soil advice to crop producers in Britain and their client base accounts for about 25% of the country’s arable land.

Origin is 73% owned by IAWS and launched last year on the secondary markets, including London’s AIM and Dublin’s IEX.
