Lantmannen, the Swedish agricultural cooperative, has announced the acquisition of Slaktarkorv, a domestic producer of charcuterie and meat products.
Based in Stockholm, Slaktarkorv specialises in traditional Swedish sausages and cured meats, operating with a focus on high-quality ingredients and artisanal production methods. The acquisition is intended to strengthen Lantmannen’s position in the Swedish food value chain and expand its portfolio of locally sourced protein products.
The move follows previous investments by Lantmannen to bolster its domestic meat processing capabilities, including its acquisition of the charcuterie firm Lindvalls Chark, as well as continued development of its grains and functional foods sectors.
Commenting on the deal, Magnus Kagevik, group president and CEO of Lantmannen, stated: “We are pleased to welcome Slaktarkorv to the group. This acquisition is a strategic fit that aligns with our ‘field to fork’ philosophy. By integrating Slaktarkorv’s expertise in charcuterie, we can continue to offer high-quality Swedish food products to our customers and consumers, while securing further value for our 18,000 farmer-owners”.
Slaktarkorv’s operations will be integrated into Lantmannen’s existing food business structure. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
