Whitworths Spectacular Sultanas

Whitworths is a renowned British brand that has specialized in dried fruits, nuts, and seeds for over a century. The company was founded in 1886 by the Whitworth brothers in Northamptonshire, UK, and has grown to become the UK's leading brand in its category. The sultanas themselves are typically sourced from various global regions known for high-quality vine fruits, such as Turkey, and are then processed and packaged at the company's facilities in the United Kingdom.

In terms of corporate ownership, Whitworths has undergone several transitions. Following a period of ownership by European private equity firm Equistone Partners, the brand was acquired in 2017 by Anatolia, a major Turkish producer of dried fruit and nuts. This strategic acquisition created a powerful vertical integration, combining Anatolia's vast sourcing and production capabilities with Whitworths' established presence in the UK consumer market. Today, the brand continues to operate as a key subsidiary under the Anatolia group, maintaining its commitment to healthy snacking and baking ingredients.
