Innovate Foods Ltd becomes part of the Frostkrone Food Group
Rietberg/Germany, 11 February 2020. The Scottish company Innovate Foods has been part of the Frostkrone Food Group from 07 February 2020. This group of companies with its headquarters in Rietberg, Germany is thus once again expanding its international presence on the food market.
The location of Kirkcaldy in Scotland is where Innovate Foods produce deep-frozen finger food and snacks for the wholesale trade, for retailers and for the food service sector, with all production taking place in their state-of-the-art facilities there. The company, based in Scotland, was founded by Tony Dumbreck and is still being run by him today. Innovate Foods Ltd is one of the leading producers of finger food in Great Britain.
Current product innovations to come out of the company's ateliers include the following:
- Portobello Mushroom Burger: Luscious vegetarian burger simply bursting with only natural ingredients such as beetroot, chickpeas, kidney beans, bulgur wheat and handpicked portobello mushrooms.
- Nacho Bites: Green jalapeňo filled with a nacho cheese sauce and wrapped in a crispy tortilla parcel.
Tony Dumbreck will continue as Managing Director for Innovate Foods and will also hold such a position in the Frostkrone Food Group: "We view the merger with the Frostkrone Food Group as a very good development. Together we will be steering the company successfully into the future," explains Dumbreck confidently.
When it comes to the matter of innovations, both the Frostkrone Food Group and Innovate Foods are already on the same wavelength: "The market for finger food and snacks is fast-paced and governed by trends. Only those producers who are flexible and who come up with new and appropriate product innovations will enjoy success," believes Frédéric Dervieux, CEO of the Frostkrone Food Group. "Innovate Foods enriches the Frostkrone Food Group not only because of its wide range of products and excellent contacts within the entire UK food market but also as a result of its creativity when it develops new finger food ideas and snack variations."
Investing in the future
Back in 2018 the Frostkrone Food Group acquired the companies of Piz’wich Europe and Varenne Gastronomie in France. A year later in 2019 Rite Stuff Foods in the USA came on board.
Frédéric Dervieux believes the Group is well positioned to meet the challenges of the future: "The acquisition of Innovate Foods means that we now have direct links to a location in Great Britain. We have been nurturing close customer relations to this country for many years. And with a view to the economic changes that Britain's exit from the EU will bring about, this merger will give our local customers there and, of course, will give us, too, the safeguards and the flexibility so necessary and so desired by all concerned."
