Irish meat processor Dawn Meats has acquired Alexander Eyckeler GmbH, a long-standing German customer and partner of Alliance Group, for an undisclosed sum.

The candidates are Gray Baldwin from Putāruru in South Waikato, Cameron Black from Riverton in Southland, and Matt Iremonger from Tai Tapu in Canterbury.
Voting opens on Wednesday 13 November 2024.
The two vacancies were created when former chair Murray Taggart retired from the Alliance Board in April and current farmer-director Jason Miller has opted not to seek re-election.
