LINWOODS HISTORY
The Linwoods brand was founded in 1985 and was successfully developed in retail stores across Ireland during the years that followed. In 1996, the company built a new bakery at its current location on Armagh’s Monaghan Road to provide a high quality range of bakery products.
The company’s philosophy has always been about delivering fresh, great tasting, quality products and this belief is core to everything we do. In our bakery, we combine the best quality and blend of ingredients to bake superior products that meet both our customers and consumers quality standards.
In addition to bakery products, Linwoods also supplies a range of Fresh Milk and Cream products to their customers in Ireland. The dairy, which is the most modern dairy in Ireland having been built in 2004, has the capacity to pasteurise, process and pack up to 22,000 litres of milk per hour.
Linwoods have over 70 vehicles making direct deliveries of bakery and fresh dairy products to over 2000 stores daily throughout the island of Ireland.
It was in 2003 that Linwoods first initiated their interest in Flaxseed and healthy super food product. John Woods, Managing Director of Linwoods, grew up on a farm and remembered as a young boy how healthy their farm animals were when being fed on a meal of Flaxseed and how glossy the animal’s coats were. Years later whilst attending a Natural and Organic fair in the United States, John once again came across Flaxseed and recalled this memory, and it occurred to him that if it made the farm animals so healthy, then it must be good for humans also. His intrigue led him to research the benefits of Flaxseed to which he discovered the many healthy attributes it could deliver. Over the years, Linwoods business has expanded to include the development of innovative new products to meet our consumers changing needs. A growing part of the business strategy is to bring organic, healthy and more nutritious products to consumers, thereby satisfying the growing demand that exists for these types of products in the market place. Today Linwoods produce a range of healthy super food combinations, many of which contain Milled Organic Flaxseed, and they are a convenient, easy and quick way to gain a wide range of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals in your diet.
As is the case with the other aspects of the Linwoods’ operation, the raw materials used in our Superfoods must meet all our stringent quality tests. It comes back to the principles upon which the company was founded: providing top quality products that deliver complete customer satisfaction.
Linwoods healthy super food products are now sold throughout Ireland, the UK, Europe and the USA.
