About Us
Claro NZ Ltd., founded in 1998 and located 250 km north of Auckland, the business capital of New Zealand, is based on the belief that our customers’ and partners’ needs are of the utmost importance. We are committed to meeting those needs and delivering new ideas, solutions, and the best service in the industry.
Claro NZ is part of a loose and very dynamic global network of trusted individuals and independent specialty ingredient, food production and trading companies in Europe, the USA and Asia-Pacific. We specialize in consulting with food and food ingredient companies and source unique and innovative products from Asia and Oceania for our partners and clients.
We are passionate food technologists, business economists/management experts, and marketing specialists with more than 80 years of combined experience in the international food and food ingredient business, particularly in hydrocolloids and fibres and bakery ingredients.
In 2012, we also established ‘The BakerBoy’ bakery, probably New Zealand’s smallest boutique bakery. We produce artisan German, French, and Italian-style wheat/rye and sourdough bread, buns, pretzels, and other specialities, which are made-to-order and sold directly to our customers in the area.
The bakery is also used for training purposes, as a test kitchen for baking ingredients, to develop and fine-tune recipes, and to produce samples for demonstration.
