Aldi Ireland has agreed a new 12-month contract worth €1.2m with Co Waterford-based Glorious Sushi.
The new contract will see the company create and produce a new own-label sushi range for Aldi.
From next February, customers will be able to pick up Aldi's own-label "Tasty to Go" sushi across all its 144 stores nationwide.
Aldi began working with Glorious Sushi five years ago and currently stocks its branded Fresh Sushi Selection in all 144 Aldi stores nationwide.
The new contract will see the company increase the volume of handmade Irish sushi supplied to Aldi by 20% year-on-year.
Glorious Sushi has hired four new employees to fulfil the contract, adding to its team of 13 staff.
The company was set up in Tramore in 2011 by Tetyana Zhemerdyey.
Tetyana Zhemerdyey said the new contract with Aldi is a huge boost for the business, particularly at such a challenging time for many small food and drink producers in Ireland.
Aldi currently stocks over 1,800 products and works with over 200 Irish suppliers across Ireland.
It has also invested more than €2.5m in its Grow with Aldi supplier development programme since 2018, which provides an opportunity to Irish food and drink companies to gain a listing in shops around the country.
