An Irish company has won a contract to supply nearly 2,000 Aldi stores in Germany.
Tipperary-based M&M Walshe, trading as Ribworld, will provide its meat products to supermarkets across the country.
Around 1,920 outlets will have the Irish-made products on their shelves as part of a deal believed to be worth over €800,000.
Aldi director John Curtin said: "We have worked with Ribworld owners since Aldi first entered the Irish market, 20 years ago.
"We currently have 16 Ribworld Irish products in our core range including our Blás na hÉireann 2019 Bronze award winning Salt & Chilli Pork Ribs.
"Over the last 20 years we have built up strong, fruitful relationships with over 200 Irish suppliers, and in many cases, such as this announcement today with Ribworld, we have been able to open new markets to Irish suppliers so that their exceptional quality can be found on dinner tables internationally."
Ribworld chief Paul Walshe added: "Aldi Ireland has been a long standing partner of ours and has forged a path for us into the UK and now into Germany.
"We are grateful for their continuing support and look forward to our working with them into the future."
