Devenish Nutrition buys Hi Peak Feeds Ltd
Devenish Nutrition has taken another significant stride into the British market with the acquisition of Hi Peak Feeds Ltd, the leading multi-species specialist organic feed manufacturer.
Devenish Nutrition, the leading independent providers of speciality products in the UK and Irish pig, poultry and ruminant premix and piglet creep markets, see the purchase as an opportunity to get closer to and enhance the product and service offering to their customers in Great Britain.
Devenish Nutrition currently supply innovative nutritional solutions and technical support to Hi Peak Feeds Ltd, and both Ian Proctor and his sister Karen Hotchin will continue to develop the business alongside Devenish Nutrition.
"Devenish Nutrition has an unequalled track record in developing new products, customer solutions and management systems and will be replicating these practices in the Hi Peak FeedsLtd business to help drive forward the specialist markets" commented Devenish Nutrition Chairman Owen Brennan.
The Killamarsh site will see significant short and medium term investment to allow both Devenish Nutrition and Hi Peak Feeds Ltd to meet the opportunities within the respective specialist market segments. Both companies described the acquisition and future investment plans as a demonstration of confidence and potential in the agricultural sector in Ireland and Great Britain.
