ABOUT KETTLE PRODUCE
Our history, our business, our people
Our business is underpinned by our vision and values. We are committed to creating best value for our customers, partners, and local communities and to ensuring our produce is of the highest quality
In Fife, Scotland, we employ over 1,000 permanent staff across both our sites and are one of the largest private sector employers in the region.
Through our network of trusted suppliers, we have over 5,000 hectares of crops grown in Scotland and around the world, ensuring continuity of quality and supply.
We deliver daily to our customers nationwide.
Our sites
Our Balmalcolm site is our registered Head Office.
This 11,500m2 factory is where we process and pack a range of prepared and washed vegetables including brassicas, roots, and salads.
The fully automated preparation and packing equipment includes the latest technology and is constantly upgraded to ensure that the quality of the final product is consistently best in class.
This sufficient chilling and cold chain maintenance ensure that our customers receive products with optimum levels of freshness and taste.
Orkie is located just two miles from our Balmalcolm site.
The size of the site was increased from 8,000m2 to 22,000m2 to house our state-of-the-art carrot, parsnip and swede washing, grading, and packing line capabilities. This site also included a Ready to Eat facility.
Further substantial investments are planned.
Kettle Produce España (KPE) was established in 2003.
We work together with our Spanish partners, to ensure supply of fresh produce outwith our normal Scottish growing seasons.
KPE is now a well-established business supplying broccoli, cabbages, and a variety of melons.
The water treatment plant reuses the rainwater to serve up to 25% of our crop needs.
In November 2018, Kettle Produce acquired the well-established Nottingham-based Barrowcliffe Limited
This move allowed us to further strengthen our position as one of the leading vegetable suppliers in the UK.
Barrowcliffes are suppliers, wholesalers, distributors, and producers of whole or prepared fruit, vegetables, salad, herbs, and exotic produce.
Barrowcliffes have 3 sites (49,000m2) offering the latest food preparation technology, large chilled storage facilities, a fleet of chilled delivery vehicles and a highly trained and skilled food preparation team.
