Tyrells acquires UK vegetable crisp company
UK-based vegetable crisp company Tyrells has bought rival crisp manufacturer Glennans for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition gives Tyrells ownership over Glennans’ £3.5m plant in Staffordshire.
According to Tyrells, the Glennans brand focuses on creating very high quality vegetable crisps, which will complement Tyrrells brand, Foodnavigator.com reported.
The company plans to significantly grow both the Tyrrells and Glennans brands, especially in the UK.
Glennans, which has only one production plant, produces 100g and 20g bags in three varieties: crunchy vegetable crisps, peppered parsnip crisps, and sweet potato & plantain crisps. It distributes products in Europe, Middle East, France, Russia, Japan, US, Canada and China.
Glennans' managing director David Glennan will remain in the business following the transaction.
