Our heritage dates back to 1880 when it was established as a fish importing business by Simpson & Roberts in Liverpool, the city where our international headquarters are still located today. The Princes name was first established in 1900. Princes first venture into food production followed in 1946, starting a period of diversification and growth which continues today. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation since 1989, Princes has accelerated its development over the last two decades by completing 22 mergers and acquisitions that have added scale and expertise to the business.
