Smith Anderson highlighted in McDonald’s Report
Smith Anderson has been highlighted in the newly published ‘McDonald’s at 50 – Our social and economic impact’ report.
The report says:
‘Founded in 1859, Smith Anderson Group is a family-run business based in Fife, Scotland. The company has been supplying McDonald’s with paper bags and food packaging for almost 50 years.
During the intervening years, Smith Anderson Group has been successful in securing contracts to serve other major food service brands. Feedback from the company suggests that their status as a supplier to McDonald’s helped to position them favourably to win additional work, with the quality and resilience of our supply chain recognised across the industry.
McDonald’s is Smith Anderson Group’s biggest customer and accounts for more than 50% of turnover. The rapid expansion of our restaurant portfolio has therefore played a key role in fuelling their growth over the last five decades. This has seen the company’s workforce increase by 40% (from 180 staff to 255) since 2015.’
