Darling International has completed its acquisition of Rothsay, the rendering and biodiesel division of Maple Leaf Foods. The purchase price for the transaction was approximately CAD $645 million (€449.3 million) in cash.

Darling International Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Randall Stuewe said, “We are excited to add the Rothsay assets and employees to our portfolio. Together we will bring new solutions and opportunities to our many customers across North America.”

Rothsay processes raw materials into finished products of fats and proteins. Rothsay has a network of five rendering plants in Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia and a biodiesel operation in Quebec, Canada.
