History

The company started in 1989 as Winner Foods, but after 2 years, the company founder decided to put the family name on the cereal boxes and to rename the company Hubbard Foods Ltd. In 2008, Hubbard considered selling the company, but decided to retain his ownership.[3]

In 2010, in coordination with Vector Limited, Hubbards installed the largest commercial installation of thin-film solar PV panels in New Zealand on the roof of its South Auckland building.[4]
