We are International Foods

We’re a family-owned and family-focused business that’s been bringing the best international flavors to New Zealand since 2005. It all started with Steve and Leigh Sartin, former teachers who ventured into the world of candy and sweets to create a life with more freedom and flexibility—one that allowed them to spend more time with their two wonderful daughters.

Over the years, International Foods has grown into one of New Zealand’s go-to wholesalers for American and international confectionery and groceries. With over a decade of experience, we’ve built a reputation for delivering authentic flavors and beloved brands like Dr Pepper, Reese’s, Hershey’s, and Wonka to Kiwi homes

Brands We Represent
WE DON'T JUST SELL CANDY

At International Foods, we specialize in bringing the bold and iconic flavors of American and Mexican snacks, drinks, and groceries to New Zealand and the South Pacific. As the country’s leading wholesaler in this niche, we directly import popular brands like Dr Pepper, Reese’s, Hershey’s, and more, ensuring businesses across supermarkets, grocery stores, cafes, and restaurants have access to authentic international products.

What started as a small family venture has grown into a multi-faceted operation, including wholesale, retail, and online sales. With a dedicated team and our own stateside logistics network, we efficiently manage our imports and distribution, getting products to market faster than many competitors. At our core, we prioritize quality, affordability, and strong relationships—whether with suppliers, customers, or our incredible team—ensuring that every product we deliver meets the highest standards.
