KITCHEN GIANT LAUNCHES

Stoddart is Australia's premier suppliers of foodservice equipment and launched their services and products to the New Zealand market at the Fine Food Show in Auckland. Stoddart’s signature is their ability to combine traditional and high-level customer service with the complexities and technological demands of kitchens today.

Family owned and managed for three generations Stoddart walk their talk. “We are extremely excited by the prospect of launching in New Zealand,” said Tony Stoddart, manager of strategy and development. “We will bring proven brands to the market which offer innovation and value for money. Moreover, we will offer the New Zealand market alternatives to which it has not previously had access. With support from our customers, we look forward to making it a real success. "

From simple beginnings 54 years ago with two brothers, Tom and Albert, Stoddart is Australia’s one stop shop for exclusively made and distributed brands.  Of their entire workforce, at least 115 employees have been with the company for over ten years – that’s quite an achievement with workforce disruption inherent in manufacturing today.

The Stoddart product list shouts innovation. From a manufacturing base, Stoddart has always pushed the boundaries to deliver the results in the kitchen with patented technologies bringing cost, time and space savings. Stoddart’s warehouse will operate electric forklifts and manufactured brands Woodson, Culinaire, and Adande use intelligent technology and customisation for satisfied customers every time.
