Dutch Poultry Firm Plukon Takes Over France's DUC

Dutch poultry group Plukon has purchased DUC, a French counterpart, acquiring 97% of its shares.

The group operates 13 EU sites – eight poultry slaughterhouses, and five processing and packaging plants – located in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. Its 2015 turnover was €1.4 billion. DUC has four sites in France, as well as one in Bulgaria.

“The acquisition of DUC enables Plukon Food Group to further implement its retail strategy in France as a national producer,” commented Peter Poortinga, CEO. “The current growth plans in France are strengthened as a result of this acquisition.”

Plukon said that it will ‘continue the cooperation with DUC’s poultry farmers and is open for further expansion.’
