It will benefit from the 17 UK manufacturing sites owned by Myton Food Group, to process, package and deliver ambient, chilled and frozen categories.
“We are thrilled to launch Myton International. By leaning into our established manufacturing capabilities and our vast network, we are uniquely positioned to bring world-class products to the UK market,” said the division’s general manager, Chris Strong.
“Our goal is to offer a seamless, end-to-end sourcing function that delivers both innovation and value to our partners.
As an in-house division of Morrisons, Myton Food Group is one the UK’s largest food manufacturers, processing meat, fish, produce, baked goods and dairy.
The group packs over 100 million packs of potatoes, carrots and onions a year, and 200 mn packs of fruit, including top fruit and grapes.
It recently partnered with fruit importer Fresh Hub Group to distribute branded grapefruit into Morrisons under the Explore brand.
