Winnipeg-based Richardson International has acquired European oat millers.

The company, which is based in Bedford, England, is a leader in the oat milling business.

It's the second-largest oat miller in Europe.

Richardson first entered the oat milling business in 2013 with the acquisition of three oat-processing plants in Canada including facilities in Portage la Prairie, Man., Martensville, Sask. and Barrhead, Alta.

They've also acquired one in the U.S. in South Sioux City, Nebraska.

Today, Richardson is the largest oat miller in North America.
