Richardson
International Limited has expanded its oat milling business with the acquisition
of European Oat Millers.
Curt Vossen,
President and CEO of Richardson International commented, “We are excited to
build on our success in value-added processing and extend our food manufacturing
footprint to a new geography. As the largest oat miller in North America, we
now look forward to building a presence in Europe to enhance our ability to
compete in the global marketplace.”
Based in Bedford,
England, European Oat Millers is a leader in the oat milling business. It is
the second largest oat miller in Europe, producing a wide range of oat
products, including various oat flakes, flour and groats, as well as wheat and
barley flakes and extruded ingredients and products. Products are sold
throughout the U.K., with exports to continental Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and Asia.
Vossen continues, “European
Oat Millers is a solid, family-owned business that is well-established in the
U.K. 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. Looking ahead, we will build on the investments that have already
been made, including increasing manufacturing capacity, and will continue to
seek opportunities to expand our global business.”
Bill Jordan, who
co-founded European Oat Millers with his brother David remarked, “My brother
and I are very proud of the business that we have successfully grown over the
past three decades. We are pleased to be passing it on to a similar
family-owned business that shares both our vision for growth and our core
values and we look forward to watching the business evolve.”
Richardson first
entered the oat milling business in 2013 with the acquisition of three oat
processing plants in Canada - Portage la Prairie, Manitoba; Martensville,
Saskatchewan; Barrhead, Alberta – and one in the US in South Sioux City,
Nebraska.
Today, Richardson
is the largest oat miller in North America.
