Poultry products group 2 Sisters Food has bought Stowmarket-based John Rannoch, which makes roast and breaded chicken products, for an undisclosed sum. John Rannoch, formerly part of Rannoch Food Group, will add £100m in sales to 2 Sisters' £300m turnover. It employs 500 staff.
The privately-owned 2 Sisters, which already had nine facilities in the UK and one in the Netherlands employing 3,000 people, supplies own-label chicken products, plus products under the Buxted and Hermanns brands.
