Linden Foods Announces Expansion Plans

Linden Foods based in Dungannon has announced expansion plans.

The firm, owned by Fane Valley Group, is planning to double export sales with its new brand of Turf & Clover products as well as expand into new markets.

Linden Foods services a range of retail multiples, convenience food manufacturers and the wider meat packing industry in the UK and Europe.

Gerry Maguire, Managing Director of Linden Foods said: "Profiling our Turf & Clover range at Anuga was tremendously successful for us and gave us an unrivalled platform to strengthen Linden’s worldwide reputation for our finest Irish meat cuts.

"Our customers appreciate our Fane Valley Co-operative roots and our 100 year history of supplying for and to the farmer. Visitors to our stand at Anuga were quick to identify with the key messages underpinning the new range and the fact that our beef comes from exceptional breeding farms in Ireland with a short and integrated supply base. They fell in love with our green land and the island's geographic location, lush grass and wet weather conditions, which are unique and assist in producing an animal of the utmost quality."
