History

Valeo Foods was established in September 2010 through the merger of Batchelors, a manufacturer and retail category partner of a number of Ireland’s best known food and drink brands, and Origin Foods, the food division of Irish-based Origin Enterprises Plc.

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. 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.

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.
