Why is the acquisition good news for Grampian?
VION’s roots lie in agriculture through its sole shareholder, the Dutch Southern Farmers Union and it has a track record of growing and investing in food companies. For example, an investment programme in Key Country Foods has delivered strong business growth and a growth in its workforce from 300 to 500 employees over the last six years. The UK is an important market for VION and we see real opportunity for growth through investment.
