Turnock Corporation

The Turnock Corporation is a Jonathian food manufacturing and processing conglomerate based in Tarringthorpe, Northern Province. The company was created in 1990 with the split of the Letissier and Turnock Foods Company. The Turnock Corporation was the company that would hold the grocery foods department of the company, while the snack food sector was spun off into the Letissier Foods company. In 2009, Turnock was bought out by Lyvenan multinational conglomerate corporation Genodar.
The Turnock Corporation can trace it's roots back to a grocery store in Tarringthorpe founded in 1910 by brothers Henry and Peter Turnock. Between the 1920s and 1930s, the company diversified and soon expanded across Jonathia. However, economic troubles caused by the Great War onset the company. In 1954, the company was taken over in a hostile takeover by a group of investors and merged with the Letissier Food Production Company. This angered Henry Turnock, who formed the New Turnock Company (today known as Netu) one year later.
In 1990, Letissier and Turnock decided to split in two. The Turnock Corporation would manage the company's grocery foods department, as well as some snack food brands. In 2009, Genodar bought out Turnock for JN₳8.3 billion, in what was the largest grocery brand acquisitions of the time.
The company's core businesses are in beverage, cheese, dairy foods, snack foods, and convenience foods. Many of it's most notable brands include Turnock Essentials, Jelly Paddles, and Rumi Cheese.
