Moy Park’s Poppintree facility manufactures cooked meat products such as pork ribs, beef burgers and meatballs. Kepak said the acquisition complements its existing cooked meats business and will be used to expand its Rustlers brand in Ireland, the UK and Europe.
The Poppintree facility was custom-built in 1995 and has received significant investment in cooking processes over the last two decades.
Kepak managing director John Horgan said the facility will “dovetail” with the group’s McCarren Meats pork processing facility in Cavan.
The deal for Moy Park’s Poppintree is Kepak’s fourth acquisition this year following investments in Greene Farm Fine Foods in Westmeath, and the acquisitions of Country Park Foods in the UK and Kepak Clare – a standalone abattoir.
