Descending from a long family tradition of butcheries, Todd Heller opened the first Hellers butchery in New Brighton, Christchurch in 1985. Hellers was soon selling to supermarkets and expanded distribution through the South Island. Today Hellers is New Zealand’s leading producer of processed meats including sausages, ham, bacon and small goods.
The Hellers processing plants have kept pace with technology without compromising the traditional values and quality standards upon which the brand has been founded. The strictest health guidelines are applied to all processes and only the highest quality ingredients are used.
Hellers exports to Australia and acquired Moira Mac’s Poultry and Fine Foods, an Australian manufacturer of chilled ready-to-eat poultry products based in Bendigo, Victoria. Hellers also acquired Canon Foods in July 2020, an Australian manufacturer of further processed poultry products.
