Our Story

ARYZTA came into being in 2007 when the Swiss bakery Hiestand merged with the Irish food company IAWS. However, as a company that has grown both organically and through aquisition, our origins have many strands.

At the heart of our business is a passion for excellence and making really great food. ARYZTA is derived from the latin word ‘Arista’ which means the tip of a single ear of wheat.

Today our story starts every day using the finest ingredients – along with bakers and chefs whose top priorities are great taste, consistency, and quality. Expertise in the bakery world is one of our core principles and underpins our growth strategy.

Join our international team of employees and you’ll see how we optimise the dynamism, hunger and creativity of a new business with the presence and reach of a international organisation. Our people are our key ingredients. While we are big, our company structure means that our employees get the benefits and opportunities of being part of an international consumer organisation, while simultaneously being based in local, close-knit teams where you can feel at home, learn and progress, and build the career you want.
