Aviko, the Steenderen, Netherlands-based value-added potato products specialist, has acquired the remaining 75% of the shares in Eurofrits, making the Spanish producer of frozen potato products and snacks a full member of Aviko. The two companies have been working together successfully since 2009, with Royal Cosun’s Aviko unit represented as a minority shareholder.
With Eurofrits fully on board, Aviko adds a distinctive range of snacks and plant‑based products to its portfolio. The Madrid-headquartered enterprise supplies the Iberian markets of Spain and Portugal with its own brand, while part of the assortment exclusively distributed by Aviko in the rest of Europe.
“Eurofrits has been a reliable and valued partner for many years,” said Aviko CEO Maarten van Delst . “Its strong regional presence in Spain, combined with our scale and innovative power, enables us to serve customers across Europe more quickly and effectively. This acquisition marks the next step in our collaboration and in the continued development of our snackables assortment.”
Pedraja Yllera, owner of Eurofrits, stated: “We look back with pride on our 17‑year collaboration with Aviko. Full integration creates new synergies and strengthens our joint proposition. With our modern production line in Burgos, Eurofrits is well positioned for further growth within the Aviko group.”
