This sentence stands alone:
Het farmaceutische bedrijf verkocht in 2003 in België voor 111 miljoen euro omzet aan geneesmiddelen 3 miljoen euro in haar vestigingen.
Would this be:
Sold the pharmaceutical company in 2003 in Belgium for 111 million euros in revenue . . . (?) and invested 3 million euros in its offices.
How does the grammar in the middle of this sentence come together?

: Asker's interpretation in second part of the note is wrong. It's the 'vestigingen' that accounted for 3 million of the 111 million in sales, as Jarry says. A comma after geneesmiddelen would have made that clearer

Comment: "Thank you to all who answered. Actually some words were forgotten in the sentence--investeerde in (haar vestigingen)--which is why I translated it as 'invested in'. "
