Olam forms joint venture with Lansing in Canada

Lansing Olam Canada will focus on merchandising Canadian grains and oilseeds to meet demand in North America as well as international markets.

Olam International Limited and Lansing Trade Group LLC announced the intention to form a 50/50 joint venture to originate and merchandise Canadian grains and oilseeds, with the aim to establish a meaningful position in the liberalised Western Canadian Grains marketplace.

“The JV, to be known as Lansing Olam Canada, will combine the global market presence, captive consumption and customer relationships of Olam with the North American merchandising skills and experience of Lansing,” said a joint statement.

KC Suresh, President and Global Head of Olam’s Grains Business commented, “The JV will leverage Olam’s in-house milling demand in Africa, its rapidly growing global trading platform and customer base along with Lansing’s deep knowledge of North American market. This will enable the JV to become a valuable contributor in the liberalised market.”

Lansing Olam Canada is expected to commence operations in July 2012.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
