History
A Family Company
Originally a cake shop in Lakes Entrance, in August 1966 Patties Bakery, originally named for the owner's wife Patty Neat,[1] was purchased by Peter and Annie Rijs, whom emigrated from the Netherlands in 1956. In 1967 the Rijs family began to build business by introducing pies and bread rolls. The demand for Patties' product increased, prompting a series of shops and bakeries to be built, bought and sold. In 1985 a new factory was built and production was moved to Bairnsdale, where it continues to this day.
The business continued to expand over the years, Patties began distribution in Melbourne in 1986, and in 1995 exporting to New Zealand. In 1993, Patties launched Arriba, a Mexican food range. In 1996, after pastry sales grew, Patties sold its bread business to Sunicrust in order to concentrate on pastry products. Demand for pastry products continued to grow, resulting in significant expansions to the factory. In 1998, a two million dollar plant renovation and extension took place, including installation of a spiral freezer. In 2000, a new parallel manufacturing line, capable of making all pasties, sausage rolls and finger foods, was installed, substantially increasing capacity.
Australian iconic brands Four’n Twenty, Herbert Adams and Nanna's were purchased from American multi-national Simplot in 2003 and Patties began manufacturing the associated products in the Bairnsdale factory in 2004. In 2006, Patties was inducted into the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame[2] and the Gippsland Business Awards Hall of Fame.
A Public Company
Patties Foods was publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and became publicly listed in 2006.[3] In 2007 Patties acquired the Chefs Pride and Creative Gourmet businesses,[4] and introduced gluten free foods to its product roster.[5]
Since its founding, Patties Foods has grown into one of the largest pie manufacturers supplying the grocery market in Australia.
In 2014 named Steven Chaur as their new Chief Executive Officer .[6]
In early 2015 a recall was ordered on Nanna's frozen berries which had been imported from China and Chile, after 5 people contracted hepatitis A. [7]
