Founded in 1987 Parripak Foods Ltd was a diversification enterprise to a family farm business specialising in the growing and pre-packing of onions and shallots. The business quickly expanded and now produces a wide range of vegetables some of which are still grown on the farm.
Part of the William Jackson Food Group, Parripak operate from a 52,000ft purpose built factory in Bedfordshire, providing a wide range of freshly processed-to-order vegetables, with many grown on the 700 acres of vegetable farmland surrounding the factory. They have received various accreditation's including EFSIS, Soil Association and Investors in People.
In June 2008 Parripak Foods became a two site operation when they aquired Solway Veg Peelers in Gretna along with their sister company Ancient Recipes. This aquisition has given Parripak greater UK coverage as the two sites will work together to continue to supply quality, freshly prepared products.
Other products include garlic, ginger and chillies and in 1999 Parripak Foods gained organic accreditation through the Soil Association.
A dedicated garlic processing unit has been established within the Bedfordshire based site which supplies pureed, whole peeled, chopped and diced garlic to ready meal, pizza, soup and ethnic cuisine customers. It also has a segregated high-care facility to cater for customers who produce dips and sauces and require low micro levels.
Parripak Foods distributes its products using its own fleet of temperature controlled vehicles. For more information click here.
