Galway-based fresh meat supplier Divilly Brothers has announced the extension of their long-standing partnership with supermarket group Aldi.
Divilly's, based in Oranmore, has been a supplier to Aldi since 2007, and supplies it with 100% Irish Bord Bia Quality Assured carved and sliced cooked ham products for Aldi's 163 stores nationwide.
The new €4m contract will also see the Galway firm add new low-fat black and white puddings to its range at the supermarket chain.
Divilly Brothers, a family-owned company, was founded in 1927 and now employs over 50 people.
The company said the Aldi contract extension will help them expand their business and continue to supply a growing range of products, while supporting the overall efficiency and continued growth of their operations.
Shane Divilly, Divilly's Commercial Director, said that since first supplying Aldi in 2007, the company has continued to grow the business and this contract extension is a testament to the "fantastic" working relationship between the two parties.
Peter Bough, Buying Director at Aldi Ireland, said the company was proud to announce the continuation of its long-standing partnership with Divilly Brothers and the investment of a further €4m annually in that relationship.
"Divilly's is a company that is constantly recognised for their high quality and tasty products, including the range of Bord Bia Quality Assured cooked Irish ham supplied to Aldi," he added.
