The Jacob Fruitfield Food Group is an Irish food company. It was formed by Fruitfield Foods' acquisition of the Irish portion of Jacob's Biscuit Group in 2004 from Groupe Danone. The CEO and part-owner is Michael Carey. Other major shareholders include Lioncourt with a 36% stake. The company is now part of brands owned by Valeo Foods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.valeofoods.com/our-brands/fruitfield/ )〕 It is the owner of many iconic Irish brands such as Jacobs, Bolands and Chef. Bolands was re-launched in new packaging with a much broader range as a budget alternative to Jacobs in 2009. In 2007 Jacobs took McVities to court for infringement of copyright. McVities launched Cream Crackers and Fig Rolls in the Irish market in similar packaging. It was revealed that McVities were also making the same products under contract for Jacobs and had even designed Jacobs labels for them. In May 2009 Jacobs ceased production of biscuits at its home in Tallaght, Dublin. Production was moved to Portugal, Poland, the UK, France and Malta for cost reasons. Some minor production remains in Ireland with Wafer biscuits made in Donegal, Real Irish products in Drogheda and premium oat biscuits in West Cork. 220 people lost their jobs as a result of the closure in 2009. ==Brands and sub-brands== Jacobs *Kimberley *Mikado *Coconut cream *Elite *Chocolate Kimberley *USA *Afternoon Tea *TUC Crackers *Club Milk *Liga *Fig Roll *Cream Crackers *Jaffa Cakes Bolands *Custard Creams *Bourbon Creams Fruitfield *Fruitfield Jam *Old Time Irish Marmalade Chef *Chef Ketchup *Chef Brown Sauce *Chef Salad Cream Clarendon *Silvermints *Double Centre *Yorkshire Toffee *Scots Clan Real Irish Food Company *Relish *Jam 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacob Fruitfield Food Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
