About Innovate Services

Innovate Foods Ltd. is a specialized producer of frozen finger foods and snacks, catering to the foodservice and retail sectors. Established on February 15, 1989, in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, the company has grown from a family-run business into a significant player in the frozen food market. The company was founded by Tony Dumbreck, who continued to manage the company after its acquisition.

The company's business model is centered on producing and supplying bespoke frozen food products. Its client base includes wholesale traders, retailers, and foodservice operators, including well-known high-street restaurant and Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brands. Innovate Foods generates revenue through the sale of its food products, achieving a turnover of £24 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The company has a broad distribution network, shipping its products throughout the UK, Europe, the Gulf States, and Asia.

Innovate Foods' product portfolio specializes in starters, sharers, and vegetarian items. Key products include coated mushrooms, various cheeses, mozzarella sticks, Mac 'n' Cheese Bites, and vegan sausages. The company prides itself on a collaborative product development process, working closely with clients to create items tailored to their needs, including inventive solutions for seasonal events. Production figures from 2022 highlight the scale of their operation, with over 82 million mozzarella sticks coated and shipped and 30 million food portions produced annually from its 15,000-square-foot facility. In February 2020, Innovate Foods was acquired by the Frostkrone Food Group, a German-based company specializing in deep-frozen convenience food. This integration has expanded Innovate Foods' international presence and solidified its position in the frozen finger-food market, now operating as part of Frostkrone UK Ltd.
