Statement Ownership and Charitable Giving

Our connection to New Zealand

All Project 32 snacks are either made or packed in New Zealand, by New Zealand factories and staff. We also engage in a charitable giving programme which involves making donations to New Zealand charities for the benefit of the local community. 

In around October 2025, we became aware that the New Zealand-owned claim on our packaging was incorrect. While we were operating as a New Zealand registered company, our ultimate ownership was Australian. This was an inadvertent mistake and we apologise to consumers for this. We immediately took steps to correct the ownership structure of the business to be 100% New Zealand owned which continues to be the case today.
