CHINA - Beyond Meat® is riding out its plant-based momentum on an international scale. The innovative brand is on the precipice of a significant expansion in China, after signing a distribution deal with Sinodis, a company that specializes in distributing imports in the country.

We are committed to building infrastructure that will support our long-term growth in the region.”
