Richardson International expands to Europe with oat business

After becoming North America's largest oat miller, Richardson International says it is expanding to Europe with the recent acquisition of European Oat Millers, based in Bedford, U.K.
 
The deal was finalized June 15, says a news release issued Monday.
 
"We are excited to build on our success in value-added processing and extend our food manufacturing footprint to a new geography," Curt Vossen, president and CEO of Richardson International, said in the release.
 
European Oat Millers is the second-largest oat miller in Europe and produces oat flakes and flour, as well as wheat, barley flakes and other products.
 
"We have been very impressed with both the quality of the business and its people and believe it is an excellent complement to our Richardson Milling division," says Vossen.
