New Zealand Natural is a popular company that makes delicious ice cream and other frozen treats. It started in New Zealand and now has shops all around the world! You can find their ice cream in places like Australia, Thailand, and many other countries. They also sell their ice cream in supermarkets in New Zealand and Australia.
How It All Started
New Zealand Natural began as a small ice cream shop in Christchurch, New Zealand, way back in 1984. This shop was special because it made ice cream without any fake colors or flavors.
The company's founder, Rael Polivnick, met the original owner by chance on an airplane. Rael saw how much potential the ice cream had. In 1985, he bought the rights to open a New Zealand Natural store at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. This helped the company grow and become known in more places.
Awards and Achievements
New Zealand Natural has won some cool awards for its products and business. They received the Export Award at the Westpac New Zealand Franchise Awards. This award celebrates companies that do a great job selling their products to other countries.
They also won the SIAL D'Or Award in France. This is a big international award for food products. In 2010, their Gold Pure Vanilla ice cream was named the best in its group at the 14th New Zealand Ice Cream Awards. This shows how much people love their ice cream!
