Back before New Zealand had the All Blacks, kiwifruit, Buzzy Bees or bungee, we had Chelsea Sugar. Nestled amongst bush on the edge of Auckland’s North Shore, NZ Sugar’s refinery has been supplying top quality products to kiwi homes and businesses since 1884. They also supply New Zealand’s food service industry and export to all over Asia Pacific. The 250 staff work across two sites – our blending plant in Glenfield, North Shore and in their famous pink refinery on the banks of the Waitemata Harbour.
