About Granarolo
Granarolo is the leading Italian-owned agri-food group, with fifteen production sites located throughout Italy, with a further eight worldwide. The Group has established a reputation as one of the leading players in the manufacture and export of quality Italian dairy products worldwide.
Granarolo’s operations in the UK market are managed by Granarolo UK Ltd. The company achieved significant expansion in February 2018 by acquiring the Midland Food Group, thus securing a robust distribution channel for fresh, ambient, and frozen products across the UK.
What Does The Acquisition Mean For You?
Day-to-day it will be business as usual, and you won’t notice any difference. You will continue receiving the same products from West Horsey Dairy with the same level of service you have been accustomed to. At some stage in the future, we will introduce the Granarolo range of Italian cheeses to the West Horsley business.
