We are pleased to announce our acquisition of Five Star Foods Fiji, a prominent foodservice distributor based in Nadi, Fiji.
This strategic acquisition marks a significant expansion of our presence in the South Pacific and introduces a direct-to-customer distribution model in the region. Five Star Foods Fiji has established itself as a trusted supplier within Fiji’s foodservice industry, known for its commitment to quality and customer service.
In the initial phase, Five Star Foods Fiji will operate under a co-branded identity, featuring both the Five Star Foods and Markwell Foods logos. This approach ensures continuity for existing customers while introducing them to the broader offerings of Markwell Foods. Over the next 12 months, we’ll implement a comprehensive rebranding initiative to transition the business to operate solely under the “Markwell Foods” brand.
“We are excited to welcome Five Star Foods into the Markwell Foods family,” said Andrew Crean, Managing Director of Markwell Foods New Zealand. “This acquisition aligns with our strategic vision to expand our footprint in the South Pacific and reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional products and services to our customers.”
“Joining forces with Markwell Foods presents an incredible opportunity for growth and innovation,” said Bob Penn, Managing Director of Five Star Foods. “Our shared values and dedication to quality make this a natural fit, and we look forward to the enhanced capabilities this partnership brings to our customers.”
