Princes is a household name in the United Kingdom, recognized for its extensive range of canned foods and beverages. Founded over a century ago, the brand has grown from a small fish importing business into one of Europe's largest food and drink suppliers. Its product portfolio spans canned tuna, salmon, mackerel, tinned fruits, meat products, and a significant presence in the fruit juice market.
While the brand is deeply rooted in British heritage, its manufacturing footprint is global. Depending on the product, raw materials are sourced and processed in various locations including the United Kingdom, Mauritius, Italy, and Poland. For instance, their canned fish is often processed near major fishing hubs, while their juice bottling plants are primarily located within the UK.
In a significant shift in ownership, the brand moved from Japanese ownership (Mitsubishi Corporation) to Italian ownership. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the brand is owned by Newlat Food S.p.A., an international food group based in Italy. This transition has consolidated Princes as part of a major European food powerhouse, aiming to expand its market reach while maintaining its traditional focus on quality and convenience.
