There in Not Much Room for Growth in Europe Now

摘要

While most of our business is concerned with natural dairy products, we also have a lot of business based on the technologies we have developed. The group I work in, technology licensing, focuses on trying to licence our patents to other companies that exist in markets where we are unable to use them. My world, so to speak, therefore exists outside our 'home' markets, which are Finland, Sweden, western Russia and the Balkans. Most of our applications are in functional fresh dairy products, which we obviously can't export to countries like Australia and Saudi Arabia. But because we have a certain know-how with functional ingredients, we try and build business from that by finding new partners in different countries who can use our technologies.
