Freshpak, a leading private-label producer of added-value egg products, chilled food-to-go snacks, and deli fillers, has been acquired by The Compleat Food Group for an undisclosed sum.
Freshpak employs approximately 500 people at its 40,000m2 production facility in Barnsley South Yorkshire and had revenues of £93 million in 2024.
It is the UK’s biggest supplier of private label chilled food-to-go snacks, deli fillers, and poached eggs, and is an egg processor. Its products are stocked in major grocery retailers including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, and Co-op, and it also supplies foodservice customers.
The Compleat Food Group said the acquisition gave it new capabilities in egg processing, enabling it to tap into growing consumer demand for health and protein-rich foods.
The deal was backed by European private equity firm PAI Partners. The addition increases The Compleat Food Group’s total turnover to over £1.3 billion and its workforce to more than 6,000 employees across 17 sites.
Nick Field, CEO at The Compleat Food Group, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Freshpak to The Compleat Food Group. Its market-leading position in added-value egg products, deli fillers and chilled food-to-go is a perfect complement to our existing portfolio, allowing us to extend our capability and category leadership role to deliver further value and category growth with our existing partners, whilst also opening up new opportunities in both retail and foodservice.”
Toby Brinsmead, CEO of Freshpak, said: “Freshpak has built a strong reputation for quality, innovation and customer service. Joining The Compleat Food Group marks an exciting new chapter for the business, and I’m confident that under the Group’s ownership, Freshpak will continue to thrive and grow.”
