Atria Oyj - Company Announcement

Atria sells Linnamäe pig farm in Estonia

Seinäjoki, Finland, 2016-04-29 09:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atria Plc 
COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT   29 April at 10.00 am 


Atria sells Linnamäe pig farm in Estonia

Atria sells Linnamäe pig farm in northern Estonia. Modernization of the farm in
line with Atria's primary production strategy would require a significant
investment in production facilities and equipment. The pig farm is located in
the northern part of Estonia, which causes big logistical cost of transporting
pigs to Atria's production plant in southern Estonia. In the current market
situation the reduction of costs is necessary. 

The sale of Linnamäe pig farm causes approximately a one-million-euro loss on
sales. Linnamäe pig farm will be transferred to the new owner starting 29 April
2016.
