HKScan invests €7m in modernizing one of its plants in Sweden

The company said in a statement that this investment further modernizes Sweden's largest pig slaughterhouse and strengthens thereby further HKScan's operational footprint.

"HKScan's investment increases production efficiency, enhances the work environment and improves food safety at the Kristianstad plant. The investment will also result in considerable energy savings and reduced water consumption. Simultaneously, it is an important step in HKScan's strategic development roadmap of its operations and it supports the Group's ambition towards certifying the plant for export to China", says Sami Sivuranta, EVP, Operations.

Previously, HKScan has made larger investments in the Kristianstad plant, which have improved animal welfare and enhanced food safety. This investment, focusing in the first section of the slaughter line, completes now the modernization of the entire process.
