Commenting on the acquisition, Cripps says: "This acquisition marks VTTI's entry into the China market, and reflects the confidence felt by many businesses in the swift recovery and continued opening-up of the Chinese economy.  We believe the latter part of 2020 will see significant cross-border M&A activity in China".
