Poultry supplier Inghams Enterprises has sought clearance from New Zealand’s competition regulator the Commerce Commission to acquire the assets of Cobb Commercial and Riverland businesses of Bromley Park Hatcheries.
Inghams Enterprises’ New Zealand subsidiary is part of Inghams Group – an Australian-headquartered poultry company that specialises in breeding operations, contract growing, hatcheries and processing operations.
Inghams plans to acquire the Cobb Commercial and Riverland business assets which run operations in the North Island of New Zealand.
Bromley Park Hatcheries is a producer of day-old chicks and has breeder farms and a hatchery.
The company has three business units – Cobb Commercial – which sells day-old chicks to poultry growers and processors, the Riverland business which sells Cobb parent stock to the Pacific Islands and the Shaver/SXB business which bears day-old chicks for egg production only.
The acquisition does not include the Shaver/SXB business.
