History
Valeo Foods was established in September 2010 through the merger of Batchelors, a manufacturer and retail category partner[2] of a number of Ireland’s best known food and drink brands, and Origin Foods, the food division of Irish-based Origin Enterprises Plc.[3]
In August 2011, the company acquired Jacob Fruitfield, a leading producer of biscuits, sauces and preserves, creating Ireland’s largest ambient food (Shelf-stable food) supplier to the grocery trade and a prominent supplier to the UK market.[4] In March 2014 Valeo Foods added Rowse Honey, the largest producer of honey and the category leader in the UK, to its growing stable of brands.[5]
In June 2015, Valeo Foods announced its acquisition of Balconi, a leading Italian food producer that specializes in the production of sponge based cake products, wafers and biscuits.[6]
