Finlay Foods – Quality Ingredients for the Food Industry
Established in the 1970s, Finlay’s Food is a trusted Irish bakery manufacturing brand with decades of experience serving the baking industry. Founded by Jim Finlay, the company began as a family-owned business built on quality, innovation, and strong relationships. Jim’s vision, dedication, and pioneering approach laid the foundations for a business that would grow into a respected name within the Irish bakery sector.
For several decades, Finlay’s Food has remained committed to craftsmanship, consistency, and product excellence. The company’s reputation has been shaped by a deep understanding of bakery manufacturing and an unwavering focus on delivering reliable, high-quality ingredients to support customers’ success.
In 2024, Finlay’s Food entered an exciting new chapter when it became part of the BAKO Group, the UK’s largest bakery wholesaler. Operating as a manufacturing brand within the BAKO umbrella, Finlay’s Food continues to build on its heritage while benefiting from the scale, expertise, and long-term vision of the wider group.
