"The most expensive thing in the world is TRUST. Cheap people can’t afford it! Cheaters can’t steal it! But it's FREE if you earn it!"

The Arrival
Our family’s New Zealand story began in 1906. Settling in Taumarunui, within the heart of the King Country, our ancestors worked tirelessly to build a future. This rugged landscape forged the resilience and work ethic that still drives our company today.
Service to Nation
Loyalty is not just a word to us; it is in our blood. Family members answered the call to service, fighting for New Zealand and the Allies during the World Wars. We honor that sacrifice by maintaining the highest standards of integrity in everything we do.
Commercial Foundations
In 1983, we officially established our wholesale and retail operations. We recognized a vital need for authentic global flavors in the Pacific. Since then, we have worked hand-in-hand with manufacturers to bring world-class brands to local retailers and end customers.
We believe in a balanced ecosystem. We work tirelessly to ensure Fair Trade—securing the best value for our suppliers while ensuring our end customers receive premium products at honest prices. Our business is built on long-term relationships, not short-term gains.
We protect and grow your brand legacy.
We deliver quality you can trust every time.
We bridge the world to your doorstep.
