Dutch dairy giant FrieslandCampina has handed a board seat to Kapil Garg, the head of its consumer businesses overseas.

The decision to give Garg a place on FrieslandCampina’s board of directors reflects the importance the company is placing on that part of its business, CEO Cees t’Hart said.

FrieslandCampina’s Consumer Products International division includes its operations in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as well as the export of dairy products from the Netherlands to countries outside the EU.

In 2009, the division generated sales of EUR1.9bn (US$2.33bn) – some 23% of its total turnover.

Last month, FrieslandCampina announced plans for further investment in Vietnam to meet growing local demand for products like Dutch Lady.
