In a December 28th release, Groupe Grimaud announced that it has divested egg production strains marked under the Novogen brand to the EW Group, parent company of Hy-Line International and H&N and their subsidiaries.

The decision was made by the Groupe Grimaud to allow the respective companies to ensure the sustainability of their activities and offer new opportunities for development.

Under new ownership, Novogen will retain its own identity and continue to select and sell layer breeders worldwide.  The Novogen teams in the E.U. and North America anticipate acceleration in development and new opportunities to serve the egg production industry.  Additional information is available from Bob Randall at bob.randall@novogen-layers.com
