HK Ruokatalo and Ruoka-Saarioinen are joining forces to source raw material for chicken products from each other.


The Finnish companies have made plans to focus on processing boned chicken with the goal of ensuring supply of Finnish raw materials for their own products.


The two firms have signed a preliminary agreement under which HK Ruokatalo would source the raw materials for bone-in chicken leg and split breast products as well as whole broilers from Saarioinen.


Under the deal, Ruoka-Saarioinen would acquire its boned chicken raw material from HK Ruokatalo.


The final contract is conditional on the deal meeting Finnish competition law.
