Vetcom Group is a global supply chain manager of agricultural products, food and feed ingredients (all other segments as detailed below). We offer an end-to-end supply chain solution to our customers. Our distinctive position is based both on the strength of our origination capability and our strong position in the destination markets worldwide. We manage each activity in the supply chain from origination to processing, logistics, marketing and distribution, further incorporating various finance services for our associates. Our complete integration allows us to add value and manage the various risks along the entire supply chain from the farm gate in the origins or producing countries to the factory gate of our customers in the destination markets.
Our physical presence across a wide network of locations allows us to source the products from as close to the farm gate as possible directly from the origin. To support this, we have developed a network of up-country procurement units and warehouses. Our trained and experienced field managers, with well-institutionalized field operating systems, enable accurate stock and quality assessment and effective risk management. This ensures we have complete control over procurement, logistics and storage. We are a multi-product company, which enables our country operations to cross source products by sharing resources, thereby making each country and business, cost competitive and locally effective.
However, the reason behind our extraordinary success in origination lies not simply in our physical presence in many origins and our innovative approach to business but in our belief in partnerships, enabled by the close and productive relationships that we develop with growers and suppliers.
