SANTA MARIA UK LIMITED
Company number 02351789 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Santa Maria UK Limited occupies a defensible niche within UK food manufacturing as the domestic arm of the Nordic Santa Maria/Paulig Group, specialising in world foods rather than commodity bakery despite its SIC classification. Its 35-year trading history, full accounts filing status, and international board composition indicate a substantial operation likely generating £15M+ turnover with access to group-level resources. The company faces sector-wide margin compression from input cost inflation and retailer pressure, but benefits from premium category positioning and brand strength that typically outperforms the broader bakery sector on profitability metrics.
