'We are delighted': Northern Ireland food firm secures Tesco GB deal for crispy onions in over 300 stores
Milgro has secured a deal to supply its Crispy Onions to more than 300 Tesco stores across Great Britain, marking a major expansion for the Limavady-based producer
Milgro, Northern Ireland’s largest commercial grower and producer of onion products, is this week celebrating a major milestone with the announcement of a supply agreement that will see its multi-award-winning Crispy Onions stocked on the shelves of more than 300 Tesco stores across Great Britain.
The Limavady-based, family-run company is adding to its already established supply base in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which now includes Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Henderson Group, Aldi, Eurospar, Spar, Mace, Londis and XL stores, as well as a large number of independent butchers.
In addition to supplying its range of Crispy Onions, Milgro has also expanded its product portfolio with Tesco Northern Ireland stores, where it now supplies a range of whole onions in various pack-size formats.
Speaking about the news, Gerald Miller, managing director at Milgro Onions, says: “We are delighted to increase our level of business with Tesco, and it is a further endorsement of Northern Ireland suppliers being recognised as trusted partners by leading retail groups across the UK and Ireland.
“We pride ourselves on supplying the best quality products possible and look forward to building our relationship with Tesco in the coming months.”
It is most definitely a case of onwards and upwards for Milgro!
Owned and managed by the Miller family on their farm, the enterprising company produces award-winning Crispy Onions prepared and produced in the dedicated and BRC AA accredited facilities on the farm, situated at Myroe, in the heart of Limavady’s picturesque Roe Valley.
Versatile and tasty, the onions add another dimension to meals. Available in distinct flavours including Original flavour, Flame Grilled Steak flavour and a hot little Chinese Salted Chilli flavour for that extra kick.
Innovation is at the heart of Milgro’s development of original products which have won both Irish Quality Food and Drinks Awards, UK Great Taste Awards and Blas na hEireann Irish National Food Awards.
