Our values
Our Story
We are proud of our longstanding, successful history of producing and providing quality food products to homes and businesses throughout Australia.
Our story begins in Wellington, New Zealand during the 1940’s when we were founded as Neil Fuller & Sons. During the 1950’s the business moved to Australia then in the early 1960’s extended its business to include rice in Queensland. In the early 1970’s, Neil Fuller & Sons was taken over by Riviana USA and then in later years was acquired by Colgate Palmolive.
During the early 1980’s, the New Zealand Dairy Board acquired 50% of the equity of Riviana Foods Australia from Colgate Palmolive with full ownership being secured in 1986. In 1993, the New Zealand Dairy Board divested Riviana Foods Australia to Rice Growers Limited who currently remains the sole owner.
Today we are now a unique, dynamic and diversified food business that has a number of highly regarded brands within the retail grocery business including Always Fresh, Toscano, Hart & Soul, Roza's, Fehlberg's, Simply Delish and the foodservice business with Riviana, Garden Supreme, The Australian Waffle Co, 4 Seasons & Tastic.
