Lohmann GB strengthens position with major investment

We are pleased to announce that Lohmann GB, the exclusive distributor of Lohmann Tierzucht products in the UK, has acquired 100% of the business as well as selected assets from its former business partner and shareholder Poultry First.

Steve Donson and John Sabberton will continue Poultry First developing other interests outside the poultry sector. David Scott, Managing Director of Lohmann GB, has strengthened his commitment to the company by acquiring a significant part of the shareholding of Lohmann GB, previously held by Poultry First.

David Scott commented "This is a huge step forward for Lohmann GB and I am delighted that our majority shareholder and partner, Lohmann Tierzucht, has recognised the quality and dedication of the Lohmann GB team by making this major investment in our market. I would also like to thank Steve and John for the successful cooperation throughout the past".

Professor Dr. Rudolf Preisinger, Managing Director of Lohmann Tierzucht confirmed his appreciation of the work of the Lohmann GB management team by saying: "Since the founding of Lohmann GB the company and our breeds have had a very good development in the UK market, showing the excellent fit of the birds and the capability and passion of the Lohmann GB team. For us it was therefore time to reinforce and strengthen our commitment to the UK market showing our trust in the strength and potential of the British egg industry and the future development of our breeds in the United Kingdom."
