Perspective
In December 2023, Lantmännen announced the acquisition of HKScan's Swedish operations, including the brands Scan, Pärsons, and Bullens.[5] The transaction was approved by relevant authorities in early 2024, and brought Lantmännen all of the Swedish subsidiaries, personnel, and production facilities previously managed by HKScan Sweden AB.[6]
In September 2024, Lantmännen acquired Entrack, a supplier of wear parts and undercarriage components for construction and agricultural machinery. Entrack operates internationally in Sweden, Finland, Poland, and Italy.[7][8]
In August 2025 Lantmännen agreed to acquire Leipurin, a supplier of ingredients to bakeries and the food industry, from Finnish Aspo Plc. The acquisition covers Leipurin’s operations in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with Leipurin employing around 160 people and generating an annual turnover of SEK 1.5 billion. The transaction is expected to provide Lantmännen with additional expertise in food ingredients and broaden the cooperative’s value chain across several key markets. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and anticipated to close in early 2026, with Leipurin set to operate as an independent business unit within Lantmännen’s Energy Division.[9][10][11]
