About

EWOS Group, one of the world’s largest suppliers of feed and nutrition for farmed fish, has seen numerous transactions in recent years that have required a huge amount of counsel and strategic advice from its legal function. Richard Treu, legal director of EWOS Group, acts as the head legal advisor while also serving as secretary to the board of directors. During several recent changes in ownership, the most recent being the sale of EWOS from Altor and Bain Capital to Cargill in 2015, the legal team has been instrumental in the continued running of the company. The integration of EWOS Group into Cargill Aqua Nutrition (CQN), Cargill’s own business unit, was also supported by the team. EWOS is continuing to expand internationally, bringing new challenges for both the company; indeed the team has been crucial to the establishment of EWOS Vietnam, where Treu himself has served as a board member to ensure legal opinion is heard at the highest level.
