No 10 Bright Food

Shanghai-based Bright Food Group Co made headlines for high-profile investments in the UK and New Zealand. The company is aiming to achieve 25 percent of revenues from overseas by 2017, according to Joel Backaler.

Lyu Yong Jie, chairman of Bright Food Group Co said in June that the company is seeking acquisitions and has the ability to pay as much as 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) for a target, according to a China Daily report.

He added that Bright Food isn't interested in deals that are "too small" and prefers to work on one acquisition at a time.
