John West is the UK’s leading canned fish brand and a trusted household name. The company has dedicated over 140 years to delivering the very best fish direct from the world’s oceans into UK kitchens, and is firmly committed to making premium quality, delicious and healthy fish accessible to everyone.
Besides the UK, John West is also a brand leader in Holland and Ireland and trades in 38 markets throughout Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa, North and South America.
In 1997, Heinz acquired the brand and the majority of the John West Food company operations, excluding those in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa which continued to be part of Unilever.
In June 2003, Simplot Australia bought the John West canned fish business in Australia from Unilever Australasia.
In March 2006, Heinz sold its European Seafoods business to French-based MW Brands, itself owned by Lehman Brothers banking group, for EUR 425 million.
In 2010, Thailand-based seafood processing company Thai Union Group bought MWBrands, becoming the world's largest canned-tuna producer.
