The company was founded as a new business of Johnson & Johnson in 1962. The business name was devised as an acronym of “Development and Research Organisation”, the Johnson & Johnson unit from which it emerged. The company has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1993 and was added to the FTSE 250 Index in August 2010. Reported group revenue for 2011was £ 227.7 million (2010: £ 213.6 million), representing an increase of £ 14.1 million, or 6.6 %, over 2010.
Devro is a multinational company. It employs over 2,100 people, with skills and knowledge ranging from chemical and electrical engineering to food technology, meat science and environmental health or maintenance and operation. Some 1,450 of them are based in Europe, with the majority of these at manufacturing and research and development facilities in Jilemnice and Slavkov in the Czech Republic. The majority stake of the Czech company under the name Cutisin was acquired as a part of the American firm Teepak, which was later sold off. The Czech unit was fully acquired in 2004.

Our staff is in daily contact with more than one thousand customers providing specialist technical advice and support for sophisticated food manufacturing operations in more than 100 countries around the world.
Devro considers Indian market as one of the most dynamic emerging markets. Based upon common trends of urbanisation of society in India we believe that the trend for fast food and ready to eat product will continue to grow despite of strong tradition of local cuisine.
Devro would like to offer suitable products from our product assortment that would support the demographic and market need for safe food distributed via supermarkets and take away refreshments.
We already cooperate with local distributors of food industry ingredients to recognise market needs and trends. Following the sales growth we also plan to established local JV manufacturing facility in cooperation with some of our distributors or Indian entrepreneurs.
