History
Noon Products Ltd started as a family business in 1989
with a range of just four products. Today we manufacture
over 250 different chilled and frozen ready meals,
predominantly under supermarkets' own brand ranges.
Specialists in ethnic ready meals we are market leaders
in both the chilled Indian and Thai ready meal category.
From premises of 6,000 sq ft Noon Products Ltd started
at a time when ethnic cuisine was just beginning to
emerge, with a handful of loyal colleagues who were
totally committed to this venture. Many of the family
and original team still remain at the heart of the Noon
Products operation. The culture and ethos of Noon
remains the same with all products and production
methods based on authentic and chef-driven practices.
In the intervening years, Noon Products has grown at an
enormous rate despite a huge set back in 1994 when a
fire destroyed the original factory. Noon Products was
able to recommence supply in just 21 days, bringing
forward the opening of the new site at Collett Way. In
order to meet demand for more capacity a second site was
opened on the same industrial estate in 1998.
A third factory in Windmill Lane was opened in 2003 and,
in the same year, Marston Valley Foods was acquired and
its operation transferred to the new site.
In 2005, Noon Products became part of Kerry Foods, which
shares Noon’s values of quality and authenticity.
Noon Products currently employs in the region of 900
employees and it is with their dedication and service,
combined with a strong commitment to quality and
innovation, that Noon Products remains a successful
business.
