We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Rich Sauces, a UK-based expert in sauces. Rich Sauces has established itself as an industry-leading, service-driven partner in the Irish foodservice sector. Acquiring Rich Sauces further consolidates our unique sauce footprint in Europe and strengthens our leading position in the foodservice sector.
Rich Sauces offers innovative and premium sauce solutions such as classic mayonnaise, flavoured mayonnaises, dressings, sauces, and bouillons.
The company has consistently grown, supplying the UK, Ireland, and beyond for over 35 years. Approximately 75% of Rich Sauces’ business is conducted in
the foodservice sector, driven by its two renowned brands, Rich Sauces and Alfee’s. The remaining 25% involves private label products for food manufacturers and retailers. Rich Sauces employs 98 persons and is running all operations from one production plant in Newtownards, Northern Ireland.
Trevor Kells and Michael Haddock, former owners, say: “Rich Sauces focuses on quality, innovation, and service. We believe Solina is the perfect partner to enhance our solutions, and we look forward to collaborating with their foodservice entities across Europe and North America.”
John Glover, Managing Director, added: “We are excited to join Solina, whose expertise will help us build on our growth and improve our customer offering. We look forward to working with the Solina teams.”
Our CEO, Anthony Francheterre, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I am particularly impressed by Rich Sauces’ uncompromising approach to quality in every aspect of their products and services. I am confident that the synergies with our legacy foodservice division will deliver substantial value to our customers.”
