German food company Ditsch has expanded its UK operations by acquiring WorldBake Ltd, a Kettering-based frozen baked goods supplier. WorldBake serves wholesale, retail, and manufacturing clients, including major brands such as M&S and Starbucks.
The acquisition brings WorldBake’s operations and staff under Ditsch UK Ltd, a new subsidiary created to strengthen the company’s presence across the UK and Ireland. Peter Hedges remains as managing director, and the business will continue to operate independently, maintaining its existing processes and customer relationships.
The move positions Ditsch to leverage its expertise alongside WorldBake’s local market knowledge. The combined operations aim to support new product development, enhance market insights, and reinforce services to business clients.
