Musgrave Group is to acquire Wexford-based foodservice business C.J. O’Loughlin Quality Foods, conditional on the move being cleared by the competition authority.

Established in 1964, C.J. O’Loughlin Quality Foods is a leading Irish foodservice firm, supplying chilled, frozen, ambient and non-food products. It is headquartered on the outskirts of Gorey and also operates a depot in Kilkenny.

Commenting on the announcement, Chris Martin (pictured), Musgrave Group’s CEO, said that the firm’s acquisition would be an excellent strategic fit for his business.

“As a long-standing successful family business, C.J. O’Loughlin Quality Foods has much in common with Musgrave and we look forward to working with Charlie [O’Loughlin, the company’s MD] and all of the team as we build on the success of the business and work together to support our customers.”
