Viserion Oilseed Processing, LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of Viserion International Holdco, LLC announced that its Elian Barcelona S.L. (Elian Barcelona) subsidiary has entered into an agreement to acquire the Soya Crush Plant, a soybean crushing facility located in Barcelona, Spain, from Cargill Inc. Viserion International and its subsidiaries are backed by a fund managed by Pinnacle Asset Management, L.P.
