Princes Corned Beef

Princes Corned Beef is a staple canned meat product widely recognized across the United Kingdom and international markets. The brand traces its origins back to 1880, founded as a fish importing business in Liverpool, England, by Simpson & Roberts. Over the decades, it expanded its portfolio into a vast array of canned foods including meats, fruits, and vegetables.

While the brand is quintessentially British in identity, the majority of its canned beef production is sourced from Brazil, a country renowned for its large-scale livestock and canning facilities. This allows for a consistent supply of 100% beef products that meet the high-volume demands of international retail.

In terms of ownership, Princes Limited underwent a significant transition recently. Formerly a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Corporation since 1989, the company was acquired in 2024 by Newlat Food S.p.A., a major Italian food group. This acquisition places Princes under the umbrella of a European food powerhouse aimed at expanding the brand's reach and operational efficiency worldwide.
