The joint venture partnership between Newly Weds Foods and George Weston Foods was established in 1983 through the creation of New Food Coatings in Sydney, Australia. After consolidating a leading position in Australia & New Zealand as a supplier of Japanese Style Breadcrumb and quality breading systems, the company turned its attention towards the developing markets of South East Asia and the need for local manufacturing capabilities in this region. This culminated in the creation of Thai Food Coatings Limited in Bangkok in 1989, followed by New Food Coatings Philippines in Manila in 2002. To consolidate our leading market position in Asia Pacific, the company further expanded through the acquisitions of Heimann Foodmaker Group in 2008, followed by Quality Ingredients in 2009 and Witwood Food Products in 2010. To further support this growth strategy, a representative office was established in Vietnam in 2010. Newly Weds Foods (New Zealand) is pleased to announce that we have acquired the business of Diron Industries Ltd effective 1st December 2018. Newly Weds Foods has evolved over the last 80 years, to be a truly international business, with 29 manufacturing facilities globally and customers in over 80 countries around the world. To reflect this truly global presence, the original names of the various business units in Asia Pacific were changed in 2012 to NEWLY WEDS FOODS. Newly Weds Foods Asia Pacific - "Inspiring new tastes"
