G'day folks, Mark, Kiwi & Piggy here! Today we are thrilled to put the spotlight on an absolute icon of New Zealand candy making: Rainbow Confectionery. Operating out of historic Oamaru, Rainbow Confectionery has been crafting the sweet treats that generations of Kiwis grew up with. From classic pantry staples to party treats, their factory produces some of the most recognisable confectionery in Aotearoa.
The Proud History Behind Oamaru's Iconic Lollies
Rainbow Confectionery is a 100% New Zealand owned and operated company deeply rooted in the heart of Waitaki. Their production facility in Oamaru holds a special place in Kiwi heritage. In fact, it was right on this very factory site back in the 1950s that Charles Diver invented the classic Pineapple Chunk!
Beyond that incredible piece of history, Rainbow Confectionery is responsible for bringing a wide array of beloved treats to homes, reception counters, and conference rooms right across the country:
- **Milkbottles**: Made using real milk products sourced directly from New Zealand dairy farms.
- **Classic Pineapple Chunks**: The iconic Kiwi classic born right in Oamaru in the 1950s.
- **Individually Wrapped Mints**: A familiar favorite gracing office desks, receptions, and events nationwide.
- **Jelly Beans**: Proudly standing as the only local manufacturer of Jelly Beans in New Zealand, producing millions of vibrant beans.
Rainbow Confectionery remains dedicated to ensuring that Kiwi families have direct access to top-quality confectionery at affordable prices, delivered straight to your doorstep.
