When a company’s founder decides to create more than just a business trading ingredients, something unique emerges. When Peter Hawkins set up his food ingredient business in Auckland in 1992, he was determined that dedicated service; great technical support; and good relationships would enable his company to succeed and grow. And grow it did, very quickly. Today, The Hawkins Watts Group represents many of the world’s leading ingredient companies with a broad product portfolio specialising in Texture, Nutrients, Colour, Flavour and more . . . A specialised and loyal team supports the business, allowing us to offer far more to our customers than just ingredients - we offer decades of focused expertise and knowledge.
