PHW Group, Germany's biggest poultry breeder and owner of the Wiesenhof food brand, is considering a sale of its Lohmann Animal Health GmbH business. The company hired Commerzbank AG to manage a potential disposal of avian-vaccine and feed-additive maker Lohmann Animal Health, based in Cuxhaven.
The sale of the unit would allow PHW to focus on its animal nutrition unit and Wiesenhof poultry food business, which accounts for almost every second chicken slaughtered in Germany.
Lohmann Animal Health’s sales were 255.7 million euros in fiscal 2012.
