We own several brands, the most iconic of which is the much-loved Pams brand which holds the title of New Zealand’s leading grocery brand. Our brands have been a big part of the kitchens, dinner tables and homes of New Zealanders for over 80 years. From our humble beginnings when we supplied just Pams baking and custard powder, we now boast a range of over 3000 products with everything from baking to butchery, to fresh produce and grocery. We aim to inspire New Zealanders with affordable, high quality, innovative products that are supported by simple yet delicious recipes, mealtime solution and household tips.
