Patties Foods is a true Australian success story, growing into a leading Australian manufacturer, supplier and marketer of branded frozen savoury and dessert products. In 1966, after working at their local bakery, Peter and Annie Rijs bought a small cake shop named Patties in Lakes Entrance, Victoria. Wanting to offer their customers more than just sweet treats, they introduced freshly baked bread rolls and delicious hot pies to the menu. The rest, as they say, is history. It wasn’t long before their business began to boom and bite by bite, the Patties legend began to grow. By the mid-80s, thanks to its famous pies, pastries and party food, Patties had become a household name. We’re now one of the leading Australian-owned frozen food companies and continue to build on the family’s vision to deliver great tasting, honest food to all Australians, no matter what the occasion. As an ASX listed company, we own a high quality portfolio of iconic Australian brands which include Four’N Twenty, Patties, Herbert Adams, Nanna’s, Ruffie Rustic Foods and Boscastle. Patties Foods maintains the values reflecting its origin as a family-owned company. We are the custodians of a unique portfolio of brands that have become household names across the nation. Of course, along with Great Brands, and Great Assets, the other vital ingredient in our recipe for business success is – GREAT PEOPLE.
