Vion has announced its disposal of the former Grampian Thai poultry operation. The Netherlands-based company said it was selling Grampian Foods Siam to Navis Capital.

Ton Christiaanse, CEO of the Vion Food Group, said: “Our strategic review identified that the Thai chicken operations did not form part of our core strategic model. We are pleased to have completed the successful sale of our Thai chicken business.

“This will now allow our management teams to concentrate on our farming and processing activities within the UK. The proceeds from the sale will allow for increased investment within our UK business, with a focus on our poultry activities.”
