The Company was founded by Samuel Laurence Dennigan at Palmerstown, Oldtown, Co. Dublin, in 1976. Sam Dennigan had worked in North Dublin Growers Co - operative for many years as Sales Manager and was also one of the founding members of the co - operative. He proved very popular with both suppliers and customers. This popularity stood him in good stead. He established his own Company, and after his passing in 1986, his wife Mary became a joint director and remains so to the present day. Sam worked very hard to develop the business and was eventually joined by his two sons, Joe and Sam, all three laying the foundation blocks for the large international Company it has become today.
