Applauded for its strategic foresight and pragmatic execution last year, ARYZTA Ireland won the Supply Chain Achievement Award at the Manufacturing Excellence Awards 2025, recognised for its resilient and adaptive management of highly complex dual supply chains across Ireland. 

The initiative demonstrated operational ingenuity, coordinated multi-temperature logistics, ensured continuity of supply under challenging post-Brexit conditions, and maintained operational excellence across production, warehousing, and distribution channels.

ARYZTA effectively addressed post-Brexit customs requirements while creatively repurposing equipment to support multi-temperature logistics. By combining robust process control with a solution-focused mindset, ARYZTA ensured high service levels and maintained strong long-term customer partnerships.

Judges highlighted the project’s clarity and execution: “ARYZTA Ireland delivered a compelling example of supply chain resilience. The team’s proactive planning, operational control, and innovative adaptation across multiple logistics channels set a benchmark for excellence in supply chain management,” the panel said.

ARYZTA Ireland’s recognition reflects the high standards of the Manufacturing Excellence Awards, where winners are distinguished by operational innovation, strategic thinking, and measurable impact. The achievement illustrates how well-governed, adaptable supply chains can strengthen performance, enhance client trust, and deliver long-term business value.
