A €14m contract has been won by a north Co Dublin-based grower. Flynn’s Tomatoes has been selected to supply Aldi with 10.5 million packs including eight varieties of Irish tomatoes.
Flynn’s Tomatoes is a third-generation family enterprise run by father and son, William and Martin Flynn. It has supplied Aldi’s stores since 2013.
Confidence
Welcoming the new deal, Martin said: “This new long-term agreement with Aldi is a huge vote of confidence in our business. The principles of quality, sustainability, experience and taste are all vitally important to our business, helping Flynn’s Tomatoes grow a superior, fresher tomato compared to imported product.”
The Flynn's installed a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient glasshouse in 2015, enabling a 40% increase in output.
