Cranswick was formed by farmers in the early 1970's to
produce pig feed. In 1988 the Board embarked on a strategy
to broaden the base of the Company's activities and to
seek opportunities to develop into related areas offering
greater scope to add value to the Company's processes.
Activities have since been extended from this agricultural
base into the food and pet sectors.
The food division accounts for in excess of 90 per cent of overall sales.
It has evolved into a business focused predominantly on
the supply of fresh and processed food to the UK food retail, food manufacturing and food service sectors. |

This development has been achieved through a combination of acquisitions and subsequent
organic growth, with Cranswick now supplying a range of
fresh pork, gourmet sausages, premium cooked meats, traditional
dry cured bacon, charcuterie and sandwiches to its customers
from a number of production facilities in the UK.
The high quality of food supplies by the company is borne out by the awards which continue to be received across all product categories.
The development of the pet activities commenced with the acquisition of a bird seed business local to the feed mill and was an extension of the Company's expertise in raw materials and milling. Subsequent acquisitions have extended the activities into the production of small animal food and the supply of fish and aquatic products. |
