Paterson Arran
Tradition with a Twist
Welcome to the online home of Paterson Arran...
Paterson Arran's journey from husband and wife team selling home baked oatcakes to one of Scotland's best-known and much-loved food companies would have been beyond even the wildest dreams of Mr and Mrs John Paterson as they started selling their products in the 1890's. Our master bakers continue to draw on traditional methods combined with today's technology and resources to make your favourite products. Our success is built on a simple formula: good quality food from clean, sustainable ingredients and a continuous stream of innovative, new ideas.
Our company may have a different look from when it was conceived more than 100 years ago, but one thing remains a constant - the immense pride each and every one of our employees takes in being part of its ongoing traditions. We also maintain a high level of external accreditation.
Here at Paterson Arran, we also care about the environment and are committed to achieving sustainability across our business to help protect the planet for future generations. Actions include removing palm oil from our oatcake range in 2002 and putting an environmental team in place to help cut down on waste and electricity and encourage recycling. Our hard work has been recognised and last year we were awarded with the prestigious ISO14001 accreditation and commended at the VIBES of Scotland awards (Vision in Business for the Environment).
