Aurelius carves out Cargill's Swiss animal feed business

Cargill's Swiss division generated revenues of €130m for the financial year ending in March 2017. The global group generated revenues of $109.7bn with adjusted earnings of $3.04bn in its most recent financial year.

Cargill will retain a presence in the Swiss market, supplying compound feed, premixes and feed additives, as well as supply chain and risk management software.

Aurelius described the transaction as a "complex carve-out of a non-core business" in a statement.
