林超伦实战口译练习笔记 第119期:收购其他产品领域贸易公司

 　　Organic growth was supplemented by the acquisition of other trading companies in related product areas including Union Merchants Overseas in 1968, Fox Roy Merchants and R. Verney in 1972 and J. C. Duffus in 1978. During the 1980's separate trading identities were created. An increasing involvement in fruit juices led to the formation of Fuerst Day Lawson Citrus and was followed by moves into generic¹ pharmaceuticals², food additives³ and honey.

　　自我增长之外，我们还收购了其他相关产品领域的贸易公司，其中包括1968年收购联合海外商品公司，1972年收购FoxRoy商品公司和R.Verney公司，1978年收购J.C.Duffus公司。80年代，建立了不同的贸易品牌。果汁方面的业务越来越多，于是成立了富尔斯特·戴·劳森柑橘公司，接着进入普通医药、食品添加剂和蜂蜜行业。
