Aldi Ireland has announced the extension of its contract with ham supplier Divilly Brothers, in a deal worth €4 million.
The supplier – based in Oranmore – has been a key supplier to Aldi since 2007, supplying the retailer with 100% Irish Bord Bia Quality-Assured carved and sliced cooked ham products.
Aldi uses Divilly’s products in its Specially Selected range across all 163 stores nationwide.
This new contract will also see the Galway firm add brand-new low-fat black and white puddings to its range at Aldi.
The renewed contract between Divilly’s and Aldi reflects a significant investment in the partnership, with the €4 million annual value of the contract demonstrating Aldi’s continued commitment to Irish suppliers and supporting community-focused, family-run businesses.
Divilly Brothers is a family-owned company first established in 1927.
Brothers Shane and Peter Divilly currently head the company, following in the footsteps of their father and grandfather before them.
The company currently employs over 50 people, and the contract extension will enable it to improve overall efficiency and the continued growth of its operations.
‘Fantastic Working Relationship’
Speaking about the renewed contract, the buying director at Aldi Ireland, Peter Bough, said, “We are proud to announce the continuation of our long-standing partnership with Divilly Bothers and the investment of a further €4 million annually in that relationship.
“Divilly’s is a company that is constantly recognised for their high-quality and tasty products, including a range of Bord Bia Quality-Assured cooked Irish ham supplied to Aldi.
“We look forward to continuing to supply our customers with the highest-quality meat products from Divilly’s fantastic range.”
Shane Divilly, Divilly’s commercial director, added, “As we announce the extension of this supplier partnership, we proudly look back at our journey with Aldi.
“Since first supplying Aldi in 2007, we have continued to grow our business, and this contract extension is a testament of our fantastic working relationship.”
