What you should know about Langdon Ingredients
Since 1852, Landon Ingredients has proudly provided the superior quality ingredients for some of the world's best obvious brands. Aspiring and developed by five generations of the Landon family and its staff, Landon Ingredients has grown to become one of the leading ingredient suppliers to the Asia Pacific, Australia and Fresh Zealand. The company's acquisition of specialist businesses such as Stewart Foods, Food Blenders, Waters Trading, the herb spice division of Lee McKeand, and Hulscher Investments has enabled Landon to give first class ingredients from only the superior suppliers drawn from throughout the world. He migrated from England to Melbourne, armed with champagne, chocolates and brandy to sell to triumphant miners who were newly flushed with cash. As Australia's population grew and the country's prosperity escalated, Henry Landon increased his import range to include books, boots, linen, china and crystal, catering to the country's growing needs. Charles capitalized on the growing nation's appetite for imported foods, sourcing products from around the world such as olive oil, essences, nuts and herbs. In the early 1900s, Australia's fledgling wine industry began taking shape. In the 1920s, the third generation of Lang dons joined the business brothers Clive, Phillip and Richard. The Company's focus on chemist lines continued in the 1950s as new drug preparations came to market: Landon imported penicillin in bulk to sell to Australian pharmaceutical companies. It was the first company to import aluminum foil from the English company, Venesta, and a fresh product called silicone which was used for the tiling of the Sydney Opera House. As Landon's management foresaw opportunities and product development, the company's importing mix diversified, and thrived coffee beans, herbs, chemicals, cellulose film, acetate, and oils. But the 1970s saw the company reduce its focus on chemicals, to place a greater emphasis on developing its food ingredients, herbs and spices market. With a return to health aware values in the 1980s, Landon sourced health ingredients, and as demand increased, commenced supplying them to health, food and industrial customers. He immediately steered the company through a period of expansion with a series of strategic acquisitions, including Stewart Foods and Food Blenders. When Waters Trading was acquired, a valuable specialization in herbs and spices was gained, including the largest HACCPapproved processing plant in Australasia. The plant provides cleaning, blending and processing of herbs, spices and ingredients. In 1996, Landon opened an office in Auckland, Fresh Zealand to service South Pacific trade. The company proudly celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2002, and in 2005, relocated to state of the art, purpose built premises in Derrimut, Melbourne. Landon has expanded its business into the Asia Pacific region, with the opening of its office in Singapore in 2008. In 2012, Landon Foods celebrated 160 years of importing quality ingredients, and supplying the brand names of our nations.
