AarhusKarlshamn (AAK UK) has been selected by Premier Foods, one of Britain's largest branded food producers, to be its long term co-development partner for the supply of vegetable oils, fats and related food ingredients as part of a new, three-year collaboration.
In a statement released yesterday by AAK, the partnership was said to have come about as a result of Premier Foods' 'Invest to Grow' programme, which has enabled new opportunities to strengthen and grow relationships with key suppliers.
Premier, which has worked with AAK for more than 20 years, said the development of long term partnerships was "an excellent way to ensure we can continue to innovate in support of our brands".
"We need the best suppliers to help us achieve our vision to be 'The Best in British Food'", said Mark Hughes, Group Procurement Director of Premier Foods.
AAK is based in Malmo, Sweden, but it also has factories in Mexico, the US, the UK, Uruguay and the Netherlands.
