QUARTER OF A CENTURY FOR LEADING INGREDIENTS SUPPLIER When Peter Hawkins founded his 12 OCTOBER 2017 www.hawkinswatts.com CE L E B R AT I N G YEARS OF SERVICE FT395 ingredients business in 1992, he was determined that it would be more than just an everyday trader. What he wanted was a company that offered dedicated service, outstanding technical support and strong relationships that enabled success and growth. That vision came to fruition, and its foundations can be seen today in the proud tradition that Hawkins Watts locally represents its numerous world-leading food ingredient companies. Hawkins Watts’ broad specialty ingredient portfolio today boasts hydrocolloids, colours, emulsifiers, flavourings, fortificants and more, and the company believes its unique selling point is its belief that a great food product is an ultimate competitive advantage. Its team brings thorough and wide-ranging multi-disciplined expertise to customers, and includes food application technologists, chefs, regulatory experts, process and commercialisation specialists. Partnering with customers throughout the development process is a particular strength of the company, providing resources such as trends and culinary inspiration, a broad range of speciality ingredients, concept and product development, manufacturing process optimisation, extensive supply chain capabilities, and quality and regulatory management. “We are a proud family business, 100% Australian and New Zealand owned and operated,” the company says. “Focused on these two geographic markets, we create concepts daily that enable our customers to bring inspiring and commercially viable products to life.” Linked in the very core of the company is a strong emphasis on its values of respect, responsibility, service and teamwork… all echoing the same values that Peter Hawkins sought. Those values form the basis of how the company operates, and sets the ground work for nurturing long-standing relationships. “We believe that shaping the future requires flexibility and lateral thinking,” the company says. “That’s progress, positive evolution. That’s what we enjoy – creating solutions that solve our customers problems.” “Hawkins Watts thanks all the people who have partnered with us along the way over our 25 year journey. Special thanks go to our customers, our supply partners and our service providers for your ongoing loyalty and support. And our employees, for their valuable contributions and unwavering passion.” Peter Hawkins (founder) and Scott Hawkins (managing director), Hawkins Watts
