History

Superabundance Foods was established as a corporation operating under the laws of the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia, but was absorbed by ESB Group (Keltia) in 1669, and redomiciled in Sarensby, along with other Caputian corporation assets and employees after the collapse of that state. The corporation remained moribund under the ESB (Keltia) Caputian Asset Management Division until 1686, when the Board of Directors of the ESB Group resolved to recapitalize and reincorporate the corporation under Normark law, and to incorporate subsidiaries and construct new factories and processing plants in Rothaven, UGB, Cape Isabella, Principality of Arboria, Natopia; Tirlar, Arboria Proper, Principality of Arboria, Natopia, and Arak, Constancia, as well as branch offices elsewhere.

In light of the Scouring, it exploited new markets in the Benacian Union, particularly refugee camps along the borders of the Kingdom of Ransenar requiring the minimum of sustenance for the greatest number with the most dubious nutrients at the cheapest price. As a measure of corporate social responsibility and generosity, the ESB Foundation purchased several million Natopos worth of goods for distribution to the poor and hungry of Elluenuueq.

It explored new markets in Zeed in the aftermath of the Third Euran War, and was a major contractor-supplier in light of Operation Paramount and Operation Landslide.

During the Florian invasion of Port Balaine, sixty-two thousand cases of tinned Superabundance High Energy Meat Substitute sold to the Blackfriars' Redux in the International Mandate ended up, by means unclear, being resold to Florian occupation forces by the enterprising factors of the ESB residency recently established on The Promenade of Port Balaine.

The beverages arm of the company, active from 1715 AN onwards, made a heavy push to sell Dark Berry Ale in Constancia and New Alexandria.

The experience of the company in feeding the forces at Port Balaine would serve it in good stead when, in late 1719 AN, it received contracts for the Grand Commissariat of Keltia to feed the vast armies that had fetched up in northeastern Keltia. After two years of conflict, revolving around the Siege of Dalen and the fallout of the Wars of the Disinherited in Ostland, the slim agricultural surplus and food reserves of the region had already been exhausted. The company would have to provide for the requirements of up to a million men under arms, it would - quite simply - be the largest contract in the company's history.
