The EastPack Story

A story of continuous growth

EastPack consistently delivers industry-leading orchard gate returns (OGR) and we’re renowned for looking after our growers in good and bad.

EastPack is 100 percent grower owned so our profits go back to our growers. Our experienced and skilled staff at our sites in Te Puke, Edgecumbe and Opotiki put growers at the heart of everything they do.

We’re proud to be the second biggest post harvest operator and the largest supplier of gold kiwifruit.
In 2011, we packed a record 21.4 million class 1 trays, with high quality, low reject rate fruit supplied by our growers.

EastPack’s vision is to be World Class, Orchard to Market. We will achieve this through:

  • Leading financial performance
  • Operational Excellence
  • Outstanding Customer Service
  • Sustainable Future

Growing Excellence

Growing Excellence is the EastPack philosophy which underpins our focus on continuous improvement from orchard to market.. Based on the world class LEAN manufacturing principles, Growing Excellence is an attitude and desire to be the best.

We’ve saved 20 percent in costs in three years through our Growing Excellence process and plant improvements, which have enabled us to give back to our growers and to invest in research and development to combat Psa.
