About Us

Chelmer Foods Limited was established in 1992 by Mr. Roger Weaire, currently our Managing Director, to import and distribute dried fruits and edible nuts.

The strength of the company has been built upon its strong partnerships with leading exporters from around the world. The company sources and supplies product from over 20 countries and with this wide range of options we can offer products from our supplier base to suit the needs of most manufacturers and packers within the UK and EU.

Chelmer Foods has developed relationships with suppliers and key amongst them are our two dried fruit suppliers in Turkey; Taris Uzum are one of the oldest and largest Sultana/Raisin packers in the world whilst Messrs Ozgur Tarim have recently invested in a brand new factory incorporating the latest scanning and processing equipment. Also in Turkey, we source dried Apricots, using quality suppliers including Akbas and Gungor Tarim.

Around the world, some of our other supplier-partners include Boghosian Raisin Packing in California (dried fruits), AgraCom in Chile (dried fruits), Bokomo Foods in South Africa (dried fruits), Unity Foods in Thailand (tropical fruits), S.A.

The company's objective has always been to work closely with its customer base in order to establish a clear understanding of their requirements and specific needs. We ensure that all of their quality and service demands are met. Part of this process includes product development, in Chelmer Foods, our suppliers and buyers all contribute our collective expertise to introduce innovations for the food industry.
