Tuesday, 12 February, 2013

US food processor and distributor Golden State Foods has acquired majority ownership of NZ-based Groenz Group, a manufacturer of sauces, dressings, condiments and powders for the quick service restaurant and food service industries in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

Groenz produces three main brands: French Maid, Kiwi Style and In-House Systems, sold through its food service channel. The company’s facilities include a multifaceted location, which houses manufacturing, new product development and test kitchen, sales, marketing and administration offices, and a separate warehouse.

“The Groen family is very happy to have forged this partnership with Golden State Foods,” said Fred Groen, managing director, Groenz Limited. “From very small beginnings in the 1970s, the company has grown to a point where we needed a substantial trade partner to further expand, and we found that partner with GSF.”

Established in 1947, Golden State Foods is one of the largest diversified suppliers to the quick service restaurant industry and has about 4300 employees worldwide. The company services more than 25,000 stores on six continents from its 34 facilities.
