Leipurin is owned by Aspo and generates annual sales of approximately SEK 1,5 billion. The company employs around 160 people and is headquartered in Finland. In Sweden, Leipurin operates through its local companies Kobia and Kebelco.
“The acquisition of Leipurin is part of Lantmännen's strategy to broaden and strengthen the value chain in food ingredients. Together with our existing operations and the new plant-based protein facility currently under construction, we see strong opportunities for growth in both existing and new markets. With Leipurin, we gain valuable expertise in developing innovative products in close collaboration with customers,” says Magnus Kagevik, President and CEO of Lantmännen.
As part of Lantmännen, Leipurin will operate as a separate business within Lantmännen's Energy Division, which currently includes food ingredients operations, such as plant-based proteins and oat-based ingredients.
”I am very proud of the successful transformation achieved at Leipurin and the work done by the personnel. During the past years, Leipurin has sold its equipment-related businesses, exited its businesses in the east, completed three acquisitions in western markets, and clearly improved its performance. As part of Lantmännen, Leipurin will continue to have an excellent framework for systematic and customer-driven growth and development,” says Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo Plc.
The transaction, which remains subject to approval by the relevant authorities, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. Until the transaction is completed, Lantmännen and Leipurin continue to operate as separate companies.
