About us

DJI_0224

At Chelsea, we are trusted for delivering the highest-quality products. Our sugars are exciting (we boast over 15 types) and we are proud of our innovation: We lead the way with unique products like our delicious flavoured icing-sugars (where you just simply add water) to our jam-setting products. We make life easy.

Customers prefer Chelsea. They say using our products results in their best and most delicious baking being on show. Chelsea comes up trumps with its flavour, range and look.

Chelsea has been around for over 130-years. We are a competitive supplier and we’ve got the experience, the edge and the passion for our products. In turn, we are rewarded with the loyalty of our customers who love what we make. We shine through for delivering the best sugars that are Kiwi-made. We also have the ability to deliver products fast and we give top-notch service to clients because we are local. We are only a phone call away.

Ultimately, we deliver on the promises on our products and we are smart at communication and delivery. We care about the needs of our clients (no matter how tiny or big).
