About Symingtons
Symingtons is one of Britain's oldest and most respected food manufacturers, founded in 1827 by William Symington who pioneered easy-to-prepare dried foods. With nearly 200 years of innovation, Symingtons has grown from selling tea, coffee and groceries to becoming a major player in the UK home baking sector, producing popular licensed character baking kits for children and families. The company's baking division expanded significantly through strategic acquisitions, including Trilogy Foods in 2009 and Victoria Foods, which brought together two major UK home baking suppliers in a category worth over £576 million. This expertise enables Symingtons to create high-quality, innovative cake and baking mixes featuring beloved children's characters like Baby Shark, Peppa Pig, and premium brands including Thorntons and Jane Asher. Symingtons' rich heritage began with pioneering pea flour dried soups in 1852, which became essential provisions for British troops in the Crimean War. By 1907, the company manufactured soups, gravy, custard powder, blancmange, table jellies and more. Today, their home baking facility develops baking mixes, kits, food colours and flavourings, continuing William Symington's vision of transforming diets through convenient food products.
