Heilala Vanilla has collaborated with Auckland-based brand and communications agency Milk to unveil its refreshed brand and packaging design in celebration of its 10 year anniversary.

The New Zealand vanilla company aimed to move away from traditional cues within the vanilla category and strengthen its brand on shelf, expanding on the Heilala Vanilla logo and scattering a floral and soft pink theme across the new design.

Heilala Vanilla CEO Jennifer Boggiss said wanted to recognise the 10 year milestone achieved with the new look and have greater focus on the consumer.

“As we move into the next phase of the brand we are committed to delivering top quality vanilla products while continuing our mission of being a purpose-led business, through supporting our vanilla growing communities in Tonga," she said.

“Our Baking Blend Vanilla Paste has moved from a bottle format to a more user friendly, squeezy aluminium tube which is airtight, [which] ensures no ingress of light and UV rays so the product keeps better. There is no mess or product wastage in the new format.”

Manufactured by New Zealand’s CTCPac, the refreshed range of Heilala products will be rolling out across Australia over the coming weeks, with a premium range expected for release in mid-2019.

The livestock cycle is about to do something Global AgriTrends' Simon Quilty has never seen before, and the consequences run well past the saleyard. Several of the world’s major cattle producing countries are rebuilding at the same time, Australia is entering its own rebuild, and the sheep flock has already passed its tipping point. For anyone whose raw material is an animal, the next three years are the tight part of the cycle.

Companies developing the next generation of food, ingredients and biomanufacturing now have access to a food-grade pilot-scale precision fermentation facility in Australia.

Synlait Milk has reported a $75.4 million net loss for FY26, but a return to operational stability in the second half delivered a sharp improvement in earnings as the dairy processor continued its turnaround.
