Scandi Standard has agreed to acquire the broiler production company Danbroiler from DanHatch.
Danbroiler is located in Nørre Snede in the central Jutland area of Denmark and contains 15 chicken houses with an annual capacity to produce about 3.5 million chickens.
- Chicken consumption is growing rapidly across all markets. Therefore, it is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we can today announce the acquisition of the very well-run company Danbroiler, and thereby strengthening our integrated value chain in Denmark, says Jonas Tunestål, Group CEO, Scandi Standard.
In the transaction, which became effective on 30 April 2026, Scandi Standard acquired 100 percent of the shares in the subsidiary Danbroiler A/S from DanHatch, which is a Danish-based group owned by Danish Agro and DLG. In 2025 Danbroiler generated net sales of about SEK 86 million. The parties have agreed not to disclose the terms of the transaction, which was completed at normal market multiples.
- The acquisition of Danbroiler is a signal and an underlining of Scandi Standard's ambitions to become a leading chicken supplier in Europe - based on close cooperation with our dedicated farmers and with a common goal of setting new standards for responsible chicken production within parameters such as animal welfare, quality and sustainability, says Jonas Tunestål.
