De Heus expands production capacity into Belgium and France with the acquisition of Voeders Huys
 

 

 

In recent years, the Northwest Europe Business Group has achieved strong commercial growth in Belgium, where we are now the market leader in the poultry sector. Until now, the Belgian market was primarily supplied from De Heus' Dutch production facilities. With the acquisition of Voeders Huys, De Heus is further strengthening local production footprint in Western Europe, specifically in Belgium and Northern France. This not only reinforces their position in poultry but also creates opportunities to expand into other sectors. The newly acquired production capacity of approximately 250,000 tonnes per year enables De Heus to respond more efficiently to growing customer demand in the region.

 

"This acquisition marks a new chapter in our long-term growth strategy. By starting local production in Belgium and France, we strengthen our position in a region with strong agricultural potential. It enables us to grow together with our farmers and supply chain partners, while also reducing our carbon footprint through shorter supply chains. It's an important step in our ambition to grow globally, with solid roots in local markets," said Gabor Fluit, CEO of De Heus Animal Nutrition.

 

"Voeders Huys brings extensive knowledge, a dedicated team and strong customer relationships in the region. We see great opportunities to build on this foundation and support livestock farmers in Belgium and Northern France with high-quality, locally tailored feed solutions," said Paul Damen, managing director of De Heus Netherlands.
