Darling Ingredients announced the purchase of the Polish rendering company Miropasz Group for approximately EUR 110 million (USD 108 million). The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023.

Darling Ingredients, which currently operates more than 270 plants in seventeen countries and repurposes approximately 15% of the world's meat industry waste streams into value-added products, is expected to increase its role as a supply of low-carbon feedstocks in Poland through the acquisition of Miropasz Group.

Processing approximately 250,000 tonnes per year, Miropasz holds three poultry rendering plants in southeast Poland at Mirowice, Pszczonow, and Krasnystaw, and has approximately 225 employees.

“As the number one poultry producer in Europe, Poland plays a significant role in feeding the world,” said Randall C. Stuewe, chairman and chief executive officer at Darling Ingredients. “We believe meat production in Poland will continue to grow, and this acquisition provides a nice bolt-on to Darling's existing three plants in central and western Poland and once again displays our commitment toward building out our global supply for low-carbon feedstocks.”
