Sun-Pat is a UK brand of peanut butter founded in 1946 by H S Whiteside, a family run firm, from their factory in Parkhouse Street, Camberwell, London. Sun-Pat is now owned by American company Hain Celestial Group.

History

Sun-Pat opened a factory in Peckham, south London which was bombed on October 15, 1940 during the blitz. Several women were killed and many injured.[citation needed]

In 1958, H S Whiteside acquired Maconochie Brothers, and production was moved up to their factory in Hadfield, near Manchester.[1][2][3] In 1965, Whitesides overstretched themselves financially, and the company was bought by Rowntrees in 1967. Rowntrees, in turn, was taken over by Nestlé in June 1988.[4][citation needed]

In the beginning of the 1990s, a range of cheese spreads were also produced under the Sun-Pat brand, but were later discontinued.

In May 2002, after its acquisition of Nestlé's ambient food business, Premier Foods acquired Sun-Pat.[5] The factory in Hadfield was closed down in 2004, and production then moved to Histon, Cambridgeshire.[6] In October 2012, after its acquisition of Premier Foods' spreads and jellies business, Sun-Pat is currently owned by Hain Celestial Group.[7]
