Founded in 1962, Silver Hill Duck is a fully integrated premium Duck Producer. All aspects of their duck production are owned and controlled by Silver Hill Duck, from breeding, egg production, hatching and selection, to processing, cooking and packaging. Their distinctive hybrid duck is exclusive to Silver Hill Duck. It has been continually developed over the years, to produce a duck that is full of flavour, succulent, tender and consistent in its quality.
In March 2019 Fane Valley Group acquired Silver Hill Duck. Fane Valley is a progressive agri-food business, based in Northern Ireland and has been Silver Hill's feed nutrition partner for over 20 years. The announcement secured ongoing investment in the development of the existing production site at Emyvale to keep pace with rapidly growing global demand for the famous Silver Hill Duck. The company now supplies quality duck and duck products to outlets the world over, including South East Asia.

In 2019 we had an allocated budget to support a range of local, national & international charities across different sectors - Sport, Mental Health, Education, Community Development etc.
Focus on Health and Wellbeing:
We reduced Salt Levels in products by 15% in 2015 and we are committed to maintaining this.
In 2019, the WOW (Working On Wellness) Team launched Witness the Fitness Challenge. 50 employees signed up to the Silver Hill club on Strava with all distances walked & ran being recorded over the monthly period. We also participated in Darkness into Light for the third consecutive year.
