“The sale of the Baltic business will improve HKScan's profitability and strengthen its balance sheet. In addition, the divestment will enhance our ability to improve our operational efficiency and to execute our long-term strategy of growing into a versatile food company," says HKScan's interim CEO Juha Ruohola.
Securing local food production is our shared mission. Smart practices ensure that you can always rely on the quality, responsibility and safety of the food produced in HKScan’s home markets. HKScan’s familiar brands and great-tasting food have been an important part of Northern Europeans’ food moments for over a hundred years. Now we all need to pull together so that we can continue to enjoy local food for the next hundred years.
HKScan has set the goal of carbon neutrality of its own industrial production by the end of 2025 and carbon neutrality of the entire food chain from farms to consumers by the end of 2040 at the latest. Climate work is carried out in all our home market areas in Finland, Sweden, the Baltics and Denmark.
We will grow as a food company in evolving sales channels and product categories preferred by consumers. We will utilise new commercial concepts and digital solutions.

We make life tastier together with our personnel.
In line with our strategy, we are growing into a versatile food company. New Via Kasvimaa products are ready-to-use, with fresh peeled and chopped vegetables, fresh herbs and spices with higher value-added.
