- HKFoods Oyj (Nasdaq Helsinki: HKFOODS.HE) is a Finland-based food company that produces, markets and sells high-quality responsibly produced pork, beef, poultry, meat products, ready meals and meal components primarily in Finland; its core brands include HK, Kariniemen and Via, with strategic partnerships for Kivikylan, Tamminen and Boltsi brands; customers encompass retail, food service, industrial and export sectors. Founded in 1913 and headquartered in Turku, the company employs around 3,000 professionals and reported net sales from continuing operations of EUR 1,002 million in 2024. HKFoods recently completed a major restructuring, divesting its Swedish business to Lantmannen in March 2024, its Danish poultry operations (ROSE Poultry A/S) to Plukon Food Group in October 2024, and its Baltic business in 2023, thereby strengthening its balance sheet, reducing net debt to EUR 150 million and net gearing to 69.5%; it changed its name from HKScan Oyj in May 2024, issued EUR 90 million secured notes maturing 2027 in June 2024, redeemed outstanding notes due 2025 in December 2024, and launched strategic investments including EUR 8 million in ready-to-eat products at Eura and EUR 5 million in meal production at Vantaa to boost added value and efficiency; in late 2024, it began exporting Finnish poultry to China and updated its strategy and financial targets in August 2025 to emphasize sustainable commercial excellence.
