About Dr. Coys

About company

Dr. Coy's Health Foods, a family run Irish business, is passionate about positive eating and a healthy lifestyle. Founder Alison Stroh saw a gap for a truly healthy snack as her research showed that snacking is where they slip up in trying for better nutrition. So in 2012 she approached Dr. Johannes Coy, an award-winning German oncologist, to propose offering chocolate with certified health benefits to the market. After her brother, a national cycling champion, temporarily ended up in a wheelchair following a cycling accident, she recruited him to assist in building the fledgling business. The company has been supported on its journey by Enterprise Ireland and participated on the New Frontiers programme, the Supervalu Food Academy programme, and is currently participating in the Foodworks programme (run by Enterprise Ireland, Bord Bia andTeagasc).
