Rigas miesnieks to be renamed HKScan Latvia

BC, Riga, 19.03.2014.Print version
Concluding re-organization that lasted three years, by order from its Finnish parent company, the meat-processing Rigas miesnieks will be renamed HKScan Latvia. This change will in no way affect the well-known brand or employees, reports LETA/Nozare.lv.

Finland HKScan previously announced the merger of two of its Estonian companies this May – meat processing Rakvere Lihakombinaat and poultry Tallegg, to be re-christened HK Estonia. As a result, the HKScan subsidiaries in Latvia and Lithuania are also to have new names (e.g., Klaipedos maisto mesos produktai becomes HKScan Lietuva).

 

Rigas miesnieks in 2013 merged with Jelgavas galas kombinats, with the Jelgava plant taking the production end, but Riga – logistics and management. Both well-known brands were retained.
