Our Story
At Tegel, we’ve been serving up delicious chicken across the ditch since 1961 and now we’re proudly bringing that same quality across Australia. With a team of over 2,500 and a fully integrated farm-to-plate process, we’re proud to lead the way as New Zealand’s top chicken brand.
Whether you’re after free-range, gluten-free, or a quick “fakeaway” fix, Tegel has something for everyone. Find our delicious range in the freezer aisle at your local Woolworths and Coles.
Our Purpose
Delight customers and consumers by providing trusted products to the world
Our purpose is what drives us every day. We are committed to delivering chicken that people can count on for quality and great taste, always produced with care. It’s about earning the trust of our customers and consumers with every product we create. That means doing things the right way, from farm to table, always striving to exceed expectations.

Caring for our communities
We believe in showing up for our communities with generosity, care, and practical support. Whether it’s partnering with organisations like Kindness Collective to help families in need, supporting our own people in their community efforts, or making sure quality food doesn’t go to waste, we’re committed to making a meaningful difference where it matters most.
Our Charity Partner
The Kindness Collective is a nationwide charity that supports children, families and communities to thrive. Their purpose is to harness the power of community kindness to support an equitable future for everyone living in New Zealand.
Tegel is a proud National Partner of the Kindness Collective, helping to keep the doors open of their community hub and food bank. Alongside providing support, each week, we supply chicken as part of their Everyday Essentials programme, helping to get thousands of nutritious meals to those who need it most.
Our team also volunteers at their community hub, lending a hand to the many incredible initiatives the Kindness Collective runs. Events like our Charity Golf Day and donation matching campaigns help raise vital funds - so they can continue to deliver meaningful support to the communities they serve.
