Hilton Food Group PLC - Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire-based ’multi-protein’ food producer - Forms joint venture with National Agricultural Development Co in Saudi Arabia. The 10-year agreement will see Hilton Food develop red meat processing facilities in the country. These will be supplied by Nadec’s cattle operations, and their production will be sold via Nadec’s distribution network.
