Aldi Ireland has agreed a new €7.5 million deal with Dublin-based Sunglow Nurseries to supply all of Aldi’s 150 Irish stores with its early season premium Irish Bord Bia Assured strawberries.
The new contract will see 300 tonnes of Sunglow’s strawberries sold in Aldi stores annually over the next three years.
Over the next six months, 100% of the strawberries sold in Aldi’s stores will be Irish grown and Bord Bia assured.
Sunglow Nurseries, a family-run business, has been working with Aldi for 14 years. Based in Rush, Co. Dublin, Sunglow employs 10 full-time and 30 part-time staff members.
As a result of its continued business with Aldi, Sunglow was able to invest in a new glasshouse extension last year which allowed the producer to increase its output capacity by 17%.
“Sunglow Nurseries has supplied our Irish stores for more than 14 years and we are delighted to further extend our partnership for another three,” said John Curtin, Aldi Group buying director.
“Working with Aldi has given us the security to invest in our business and we look forward to working with Aldi for the next three years and beyond,” added Joe McGuiness, partner at Sunglow. “We’re delighted with this new contract and are proud to bring our 100% Irish grown Bord Bia Assured strawberries to Aldi stores nationwide.”
