Origin expands in €22m deal

Irish agribusiness company Origin Enterprises has completed the €22.4m takeover of a Polish counterpart as part of its ongoing expansion in the Eastern European market.

The group yesterday announced it had reached agreement to acquire 100% of the Kazgod Group which employs more than 200 people and services some 2,600 customers.

The firm’s takeover will extend its reach into Kazgod’s strongholds in central and eastern Poland, complementing its existing operations under the Dalgety brand in the west of the country.
