Domenico Annessa, one of the founding directors of Annessa Imports, said: “Kiril Mischeff is an established and well-respected business and I am looking forward to increasing and enhancing even further the product offering we bring to their customers, old and new and contributing to the future success of the group.”
Privately owned Kiril Mischeff has been supplying the UK food and beverage manufacturing, foodservice and retail sectors for over 90 years.
Its most recent accounts, for the year to 30 September 2023, saw revenues increase 14.3% to £179.8m, driven by inflationary price increases.
