Long-term strategy key to VION's growth

VION Food Group, an international food company based in the Netherlands, is stepping up its efforts to expand globally.

With the European Commission approving VION's acquisition of Grampian Country Food Group, one of the leading food companies in the United Kingdom, in late July, the Netherlands-based company has been in the spotlight.

China is also an important growth market for VION, according to Peter Beckers, chief strategic officer of the company.
