About Fusco Foods

The Fusco name has been synonymous with cakes and desserts for almost 60 years. The business started trading from a small manufacturing and retail unit in Stillorgan county Dublin in 1966 supplying the local Dublin market. In 1981 Fusco Foods moved to a larger industrial unit just up the road from the original site to Sandyford, this move enabled supply into several Irish super markets. In 2005 Fusco Foods purchased Connell’s Irish Family Bakeries, this new development allowed for the development of a full food service offering to many of the island of Ireland food service providers. In 2020 Fusco Foods expanded further with the development of dessert manufacturing site at Kilcoole county Wicklow. This new 3,500 square meter site is gluten free and specialises in the production of meringue based desserts, which are exported to Australia, UK, Netherlands, France, Finland and Sweden. Exports have exceeded domestic sales since the commencement of manufacturing from the new site in 2020.

Fusco Foods produces a wide range of food service and retail products. Some of the most popular lines supplied throughout Ireland and parts of the UK, would be our Death by Chocolate (using rich dark chocolate), Apple Pies (using Armagh Bramley Apples), Cheesecakes (using full fat cream cheese). In retail markets our multi award winning Meringue Roulades have driven growth and exports with the development of the Fusco Family brand of retail Meringue Roulades and the development of several Private Label agreements in several markets thought the UK, Europe and Australia, with key ingredients including Irish Dairy Cream, fresh pasteurised egg, the manufacture of our own curds, toffee sauces and fruit sauces and the extensive use of Sicilian lemon juice.
