4 August, 2025 – MHP, a leading international food and agri company, has officially closed the transaction to acquire over 92% of the share capital of Grupo UVESA, one of Spain’s major vertically integrated producers in poultry and pork.

The closing of the transaction became possible following the completion of the accession period to the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), signed in March 2025, and after obtaining all required regulatory approvals. In particular, MHP received clearances from the antitrust authorities of Ukraine, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo, as well as merger control and foreign subsidies approval from the European Commission.

Following this, the transaction was officially completed. The company became the owner of over 92% of UVESA’s shares, having settled with all sellers. MHP now controls the company’s core processes and operational activities.

Yuriy Kosyuk, the Founder and CEO of MHP, said:

“With the transaction now complete, we are entering the integration phase with UVESA. Leveraging our international expertise, we are committed to unlocking the full potential of the business and accelerating its growth. Our focus will be on empowering the UVESA team to scale operations, drive innovation, improve efficiency, and expand into new markets. At the heart of our strategy are strong partnerships, a deep commitment to sustainable development, and a workplace culture where talent can thrive.”

The integration process will prioritize operational alignment, knowledge exchange, and targeted investments in efficiency and product innovation. Together, the companies will also explore opportunities to strengthen export capabilities and expand their footprint across European and Middle Eastern markets.

Antonio Sánchez, President of UVESA, added:

“The partnership with MHP marks a new and significant chapter for UVESA, which will be able to boost its growth thanks to MHP's extensive experience in operational innovation, and continue to consolidate its excellence with the sustainable production of high-quality food and ensure total food security”.
