Bako Group Ltd Announces Rebranding of Finlay’s Food to Bako
Bako Group Ltd has officially unveiled that Finlay’s Food, acquired in 2024, will now operate under the name Bako. This strategic rebranding marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the company.
A Legacy of Quality and Service
Established in 1976, Finlay’s Food has built a strong reputation as a leading manufacturer and distributor of bakery and food ingredients.

With decades of experience, Finlay’s Food has become synonymous with quality and reliability in the food industry.
State-of-the-Art Operations in County Armagh
Operating from a dedicated manufacturing and distribution facility located in County Armagh, Bako employs approximately 60 skilled professionals. The business boasts five distinct manufacturing departments along with a robust wholesale operation, which together enhance its capacity to meet customer demands effectively.
Enhanced Capabilities and Product Range
Bako’s site in County Armagh leverages enhanced group resources, enabling a wider product range and fortified supply capabilities.
