leading through innovation

Silbury has always invested time and money in ensuring it has unrivalled knowledge of, and access to, key markets - from China to Spain, and Turkey to Portugal. 

Typical of Silbury's strategic commitment is its long term partnership with Gandolfi, the undisputed experts in Italian and global tomato markets. Its ongoing investment in innovation from field to factory can also be seen in its shareholding in HIT, Europe's leading innovator in tomato production & processing. HIT:

• is the third largest tomato processor in Europe
• has one of the largest processing capacities
• is the largest food service tomato sauce provider
• is the largest pouch producer in Europe
• is one of the leading low-cost tomato producers in Europe.

One operating division, Italagro, is the market leading quality / volume supplier to many of Europe's largest food manufacturing and service companies, and indisputably a leading supplier of low price European commodity tomato paste.

The other operating division, FIT, is the market leading innovator and quality supplier, particularly in terms of taste and health, including Crimson HB paste (for exceptional natural colour), Hi-Taste crushed tomatoes and paste which have a characteristic and pronounced fresh taste, and a range variety specific Tomato products including Cherry tomato extracts.

Yet this is just one of Silbury's worldwide strategic partnerships with leading suppliers.
