Some companies might claim to be the best thing since sliced bread, but Associated British Foods (ABF) "is" sliced bread. ABF, which introduced sliced bread in the UK during the 1930s, makes the UK's popular Allinson and Kingsmill brands. Associated British Foods also serves up a full dish of tea-time snacks, including Ryvita crispbread and Twinings teas. Its British Sugar subsidiary makes Silver Spoon sugar; other divisions make food ingredients, specialty oils, and animal feed. Not all its slices are in one loaf, however -- ABF operates the Primark clothing store chains in the UK, Ireland, and Spain.
