Tegel is New Zealand's market-leading poultry producer, and has been part of New Zealanders’ lives since 1961. The company is involved in breeding, hatching, processing, marketing sales and distribution of poultry products across New Zealand and to selected international markets.

Tegel is an iconic New Zealand heritage brand, offering a broad range of poultry products from fresh and frozen whole chickens and portions, to value added main meal, snacks and convenience meal options. Domestically, Tegel’s products are supplied to major supermarkets, other retail outlets, processors, hotels, restaurants, distributors and fast food customers. Tegel exports a range of premium New Zealand chicken products internationally, proudly promoting “Pure New Zealand Premium Chicken”. Tegel also manufactures a range of sausages and processed meats.

Tegel’s operations include major processing facilities in Auckland, New Plymouth and Christchurch. These highly sophisticated and automated processing facilities are fully accredited and independently audited to meet globally recognised food safety and quality standards.

Tegel employs over 2,300 people nation-wide.

Tegel’s proud history is based on pragmatic, everyday values that ensure we treat our animals, people, customers, consumers and communities with the highest regard.

Pacific Equity Partners acquired the company from Heinz in 2005, and sold it to Affinity Equity Partners in 2011.[1]

Controversy

Sue Kedgley MP, New Zealand Green Party Animal Welfare Spokesperson, lodged a complaint with the New Zealand Advertising Standards Complaints Board in February 2002 about allegedly misleading Tegel promotions.[2]
