Richester Foods is an owner-managed private company started in 2005, as a distributor of imported confectionery, operating out of a rented hall at the Pretoria Showgrounds.<\/p>

After buying and selling sweets imported from many different parts of the world, we developed a flair for identifying the best and most delicious candies.<\/p>

Having a passion for colour, fun and flavour we decided to embody this spirit and create beautiful products of our own.<\/p>

We then invested and planted our roots in an industrial park in Centurion, with our very own factory making sweets primarily for the South African consumers.<\/p>

Our first product was produced in 2007, with manual machines in a small factory, and the birth of its first brand of sweets called Joosy Chews was born, under the red and white Richester Logo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

After successfully selling our first range of sweets, we could feel the pulse of the local market and we knew South Africa was ready for innovative, high quality products at affordable prices. Inspired by flavours from all over the world, we brought alive this inspiration through our products of superior quality and unparallel unique packaging designs.<\/p>

By 2021 our head office and production facilities are still based in Centurion but has now expanded to 4 factories covering 15000m2 square metres of manufacturing space, with technologically advanced equipment, conforming to the highest standards of manufacturing practices as well as a separate state-of-the-art and temperate controlled Distribution Centre and a full fleet of our own trucks to attend to our distribution requirements.<\/p>

Our vision is to enhance our leadership in confectionery by creating value for consumers through innovative and satisfying high-quality products in all different segments of confectionery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
