De Heus Animal Nutrition strengthens its local production footprint in Western Europe by acquiring Belgian feed producer Voeders Huys. This move supports growth in Belgium and Northern France with an annual production capacity of 250,000 tons.

De Heus Animal Nutrition, a global feed producer based in the Netherlands, has acquired Voeders Huys, a well-established Belgian feed producer with production sites in Bruges, Belgium, and Northern France. This acquisition significantly expands De Heus’ production capacity and strengthens its position in Western Europe, a region where the company has already seen notable commercial growth.

Gabor Fluit

Gabor Fluit, CEO of De Heus Animal Nutrition, said this acquisition marks a new chapter in their long-term growth strategy. By producing locally in Belgium and France, De Heus aims to grow alongside farmers and supply chain partners while reducing its carbon footprint through shorter supply chains. This strategic move reinforces De Heus’ presence in the poultry sector, where it is already the market leader in Belgium, and opens doors to expansion into other livestock sectors.

Paul Damen

Paul Damen, Managing Director of De Heus Netherlands, highlighted Voeders Huys’ extensive knowledge and strong customer relationships, which provide a solid foundation for delivering high-quality, locally tailored feed solutions. The new production capacity of approximately 250,000 tons per year will help De Heus meet rising customer demand efficiently.
