Loma Systems Helps Relieve the Payne - Sponsored Whitepaper

Fiddes Payne is a huge success in the food industry, having started in 1993, today it is one of the market leading premium herb, spice and home bake producers. Originally the business was started selling basic herb and spice products to the Health Food, Independent and Delicatessen trades as well as limited wholesalers.

The company realised that their long-term strategy for growth should be to target the ever-increasing strength of the multiple retailers. Fiddes Payne recognised the strong growth of Own Label products so the company increasingly turned its attention to Own Label manufacture for the supermarkets. Since then, company growth has been very rapid and they now supply several multiples in the UK, producing branded and Own Label products.

Fiddes Payne currently operates out of two highly efficient BRC Grade A modern factories in Banbury, Oxfordshire. The company is continuously developing its product range to keep up with changing consumer tastes and global demand. Coupled with its high quality premium products, a passion for innovative packaging designs has really attracted the consumers attention and has ensured the Fiddes Payne brand continues to grow at a rapid rate.

To ensure its premium quality for the multiples is maintained and in keeping with HACCP quality control, the company required three metal detectors to inspect a new seasoning range and a variety of homebaked products.

Fiddes Payne had no hesitation in choosing Loma Systems, a world leader in the design and manufacture of food inspection systems, as they had previously purchased Loma machines and were extremely pleased with the results, as Andy Hearne, Production Manager at Fiddes Payne comments, “We have never had a problem with Loma machines and we have always been pleased with both their service and the competitive price”.
