Valeo Foods was established in September 2010 through the merger of Batchelors, a manufacturer and retail category partner of a number of Ireland’s best known food and drink brands, and Origin Foods, the food division of Irish-based Origin Enterprises Plc.

In March 2014 Valeo Foods added Rowse Honey, the largest producer of honey and the category leader in the UK, to its growing stable of brands.
