JSR Genetics is under new ownership
On Friday 17th January 2025 JSR Genetics Ltd was purchased by Cranswick plc from the Rymer family in East Yorkshire. The sale is essentially all JSR’s pig businesses including Pyramid, Commercial units, AI Studs and third party finishing contracts.
We are pleased to confirm that all staff, approximately 70, will be transferring to Cranswick and will be fulfilling their existing roles.
Cranswick is a highly successful local business with a proven track record for investment and growth and this acquisition will provide tremendous career opportunities for the transferring employees. The majority of roles will remain in the local area, ensuring continuity for the team and local communities.
JSR Genetics is a genetics collaboration with Topigs Norsvin, the world’s most innovative pig genetics company. The business will continue to be the exclusive distributor of Topigs Norsvin genetics in the UK and will remain the leading pig genetics business in the country.
Customers can rest assured that JSR Genetics will remain committed to deliver the same high level of genetic improvement and service, which has historically been achieved.
