As Germinal celebrates 200 years, we look back on a journey that began in 1825 as a general merchant wholesaler in Northern Ireland. From weathering challenges post-WWII and famine, resilience has been our hallmark.

Through two centuries, Germinal has consistently focused on the future—driving innovation and breaking new ground. As we mark this milestone, we reflect on the trust, growth, and partnerships that have defined our story.

Our journey is one of resilience, innovation, and growth.
