Over the past 9 years Anpario plc has acquired the UK companies Meriden Animal Health, Optivite and Kiotechagil and has made a strategic decision to continue to manage them as individual trading divisions, in order to continue to best meet the needs of their customers throughout the world.

On leading the implementation of Anpario’s Forward Integration plan, Andrew Jackson says ‘the need to understand the local markets and maintain the strong relationships built up over 20 years are crucially important to the continued success of the business. Having local people on the ground within our distribution network is the best way to understand what the customers really need.
