In a move to press forward with its commitment to sustainability and growth in the UK market, SugaRich has acquired the former food processing business of JD Bamber Ltd.
SugaRich has announced the successful acquisition of the former food processing business of JD Bamber Ltd in Preston, UK. This facility will now operate under the SugaRich brand. The company points to the acquisition as aligning with its strategic vision to expand its footprint and strengthen its position as one of Europe’s leading businesses in the former foods sector.
For over 50 years, SugaRich has been at the forefront of the recovered food industry, pioneering collection methods, advanced technologies, and sustainable systems that help food manufacturers minimise waste, repurpose surplus, and reduce environmental impact.
As one of the leaders in developing the alternative feed market, SugaRich explains it is the natural choice as a supplier of feed material for inclusion in high performance livestock feeds and food producers seeking to maximise returns. Alternative feeding solutions are increasingly vital as farmers aim to enhance sustainability, boost productivity, and improve herd health to meet future challenges.
“It is clear that consolidation in the food and feed sector is accelerating, aligning with our growth strategy. We remain committed to expanding our UK presence and delivering innovative solutions for surplus foodstuffs to a broader customer base,” said Alex Keogh, Managing Director of SugaRich.
Regarding the initiative, SugaRich stated: “This marks an exciting milestone for SugaRich and reinforces our dedication to the co-products industry. We are proud to welcome a fantastic supplier network and a loyal customer base and are committed to building upon this strong foundation. By integrating our industry-leading technology and processes, we aim to create a larger, stronger, and more dynamic business.”
“This move not only strengthens our presence in the UK but also reinforces our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence in the co-products industry. We are excited to welcome new partners and customers and look forward to building a stronger, more dynamic business together,” expressed Andy Newton, CEO of the SugaRich Group.
In the coming weeks, the company will transition the JD Bamber production operations into SugaRich sites.
