Greencore was established in 1991 following the privatisation of Irish Sugar. In 2001, the business diversified in to convenience food through the acquisition of Hazlewood Foods. Subsequently, the business has made a series of acquisitions and disposals to create Greencore’s current portfolio. In January 2026 Greencore completed the acquisition of Bakkavor Group plc, creating a convenience food leader.
