Soreen is a brand of malt loaf and a subsidiary of Samworth Brothers, a food manufacturing company based in Leicestershire.

The creator of Soreen, Mr John Rahbek Sorenson, arrived in England in 1920.[1] He purchased a property in Manchester two years before setting up John Sorenson Bakery Equipment & Co. Over the course of the next several years, he began to produce and sell his own baked goods.[1]

In 2013, the company's revenue grew 20% to £30m,[2] and in 2014 the Soreen brand was acquired from the McCambridge Group by the Samworth Brothers for an undisclosed sum.[3] The company currently [when?] employs 126 at its Manchester factory, and its products are consumed by roughly 28.5% of households in the UK.[4] According to the company's website, they distribute 1.5 million loaves per week.[5]
