Sicilian Food Suppliers Limited presents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, high-growth business that brings the authentic flavours of Sicily to contemporary consumers across the UK and beyond. Central to the company’s success is Don Arancini, a widely recognised and trusted brand celebrated for its exceptional quality and culinary authenticity in the ethnic and gourmet food sector.
As an Italian food importer and distributor based in the UK, Sicilian Food Suppliers Limited has positioned itself as a leading specialist in bringing premium Sicilian and Italian products to both retail and wholesale markets.
The business is built on strong core values—authenticity, quality, tradition, innovation, and sustainability—and offers a diverse and growing product portfolio. Its current selection features beloved Sicilian classics like arancini, cannoli, ricotta cheese sweetened, Gluten free cannoli, calzoni, and croquettes, along with convenient frozen ready meals, all rooted in generations of Sicilian tradition and adapted for modern tastes.
Importantly, this range is just the starting point. The company holds an exceptional catalogue of ambient, refrigerated, and frozen products, carefully selected for quality and uniqueness. These products present immediate opportunities to expand both the retail website channel and wholesale distribution network, enabling significant growth and diversification in a fast-evolving market.
Sicilian Food Suppliers Ltd operates through two dedicated websites: One focused on the nationwide delivery of frozen Sicilian food products across the UK, and the other showcasing and selling a curated selection of premium wholesale goods imported directly from Sicily.
The company is the exclusive UK distributor of the renowned Don Arancini brand, imported straight from Sicily, further reinforcing its position as a leading provider of authentic Sicilian cuisine.
The business has built a strong presence at over 35 food events and festivals annually across London and the UK. Additionally, it operates daily trading at residential complexes, local markets, and monthly private events throughout London, ensuring consistent customer engagement and high brand visibility.
Sicilian Food Suppliers also offers private hire and corporate catering services, utilising a branded food truck or market canopy setup—ideal for parties, celebrations, business functions, and bespoke events. The catering menu showcases a distinctive range of premium Sicilian delicacies.
As a wholesale supplier, the company serves both major and independent businesses across Greater London, delivering a carefully selected range of frozen and ambient Sicilian products every two weeks. There is significant potential for expansion into a much broader client base throughout the UK.
The company has demonstrated consistent revenue growth and maintains strong ebitda margins, underscoring its solid financial performance and readiness for strategic scaling.
Operations are supported by a modern, scalable production facility in London, underpinned by an efficient logistics infrastructure. The company ensures nationwide next-day frozen food delivery through its contracted carrier, FedEx, offering 24-hour dispatch capability. In addition, it operates its own dedicated freezer van for flexible distribution and also provides private and corporate catering services.
Brand visibility is further enhanced through a strong presence at food festivals and local markets, utilising a full-sized branded food truck and three custom-branded stalls to engage with customers across key regions and drive awareness.
This robust operational foundation presents significant growth potential, including expansion into new export markets, development of innovative product lines such as vegan or Sicilian-fusion dishes, and the launch of branded cafés or retail outlets.
