Hormel Foods Australia – bringing product innovation ‘down under’

Hormel Foods International Corporation (HFIC) has been operating in Australia and New Zealand for almost 40 years and more recently as the wholly-owned subsidiary company Hormel Foods Australia (HFA). Now one of HFIC’s top performing divisions, HFA is emulating its parent company’s success and is renowned for its strong position in the grocery and foodservice markets. It supplies products to a large region apart from Australia including New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Fiji, among others.

Following the introduction of SPAM® branded products to Australia in 1969 the iconic canned meat is still the company’s #1 seller. Continuous product innovation has seen the introduction of a number of new products across the canned and convenience food categories such as Hormel® Luncheon Meat, Stagg® Chili, HORMEL™ COMPLEATS™ Microwave Meals, Hormel® Kid’s Kitchen® Microwave Meals and Hormel’s bacon topping range.

With a strong customer service ethos and the support of a world-renowned parent company HFA has everything to offer: strong brands, excellent quality products, a value-added differentiated range and continual innovation.
