Who we are
As part of Cefetra Group, Cefetra Limited is one of the major traders of grains and raw animal feed materials in the UK and Ireland. The UK operations have continued to growth since 1992 each year, growing in either volume and/or complexity. Especially with the market opportunities facing the company, there are no signs of this slowing down. The growth path is expected to create acquisition opportunities for the company on either a share capital or an asset acquisition basis. Whether the growth or organic or acquitted tax input is always relevant to the decision process. Check out our corporate movie here.
