Our history
MWBrands was set up in 2006 when H.J. Heinz sold its European Seafood Business.
Thaï Union Frozen (TUF) acquired MW Brands on October 29th 2010, thereby strengthening its position in the global seafood business arena. It is a significant major step forward, bringing new opportunities for its customers, consumers and employees.
MWBrands is one of the leading ambient seafood businesses in Europe selling its products mainly in the UK, France, Italy, Ireland and the Netherlands. MWBrands focuses on tuna and added value tuna, but also sells a comprehensive range of salmon, mackerel, sardines, seafood spreads and other seafood products.
