Atria Finland starts pork export to China

Atria is a growing Finnish food company with an international presence. Its success is built on three pillars: food, people and traditions.

Atria Finland Ltd on 12 October 2016 received an official confirmation of the pork export license to China. Chinese licensing authorities have admitted Atria’s production plant in Nurmo Finland a site-specific export license for pork meat to China. Export license is a significant driver of development and expansion for Atria’s business.

Atria is one of the leading food companies in the Nordic countries, Russia and the Baltic region, with experience stretching over 110 years.

Atria aims to cooperate with Chinese partners for the long-term and has conducted surveys and prepared commercial arrangements to start the exports to China. Export operations are intended to launch as soon as possible.

“Negotiations with Chinese and Finnish licensing authorities were successful. Authorities are convinced of Atria’s high quality. We now have a unique opportunity to enter the Chinese market and expand our business in a new market area. At this point, we do not yet know the future economic impact. ” says Atria Group CEO Juha Gröhn.
