Edgell Mixed Vegetables

Edgell is a cornerstone of the Australian food industry, renowned for its wide variety of canned and frozen vegetables. The brand was founded in 1926 by Gordon Edgell in Bathurst, New South Wales, where he established the first commercial cannery in the region. Since its inception, Edgell has been a household name in Australia, synonymous with quality and convenience in vegetable preservation.

Over the decades, the ownership of the Edgell brand has evolved through several corporate transitions. Today, the brand is owned by Simplot Australia, a subsidiary of the American multinational food company, J.R. Simplot Company. While the brand remains deeply rooted in Australian heritage with a significant amount of its produce sourced from Australian farmers and processed in local facilities like those in Bathurst and Devonport, some specific vegetable varieties may be sourced or packed internationally depending on seasonal availability and supply chain requirements.

As of 2026, the ultimate ownership remains with the J.R. Simplot Company, based in the United States. They continue to operate the brand through Simplot Australia, maintaining Edgell's position as a market leader in the Australian grocery sector while leveraging global distribution and agricultural expertise.
