Huntley & Palmers Cream Crackers

Huntley & Palmers is a historic brand with high recognition in the biscuit and cracker market. Originally founded in Reading, United Kingdom, in 1822 by Thomas Huntley and George Palmer, the company pioneered the commercial production of biscuits and was once the world's largest biscuit manufacturer. Today, the brand represents a legacy of traditional baking expertise.

In the New Zealand market, the Huntley & Palmers brand is owned and manufactured by Griffin's Snacks. The product shown, Huntley & Palmers Cream Crackers, is proudly produced locally in New Zealand, as indicated by the "Made here & loved here" labeling on the packaging. This local production ensures that the crackers meet the specific taste preferences and quality standards of Oceanian consumers.

Griffins Snacks itself is a major player in the Pacific snack food industry. As of the current global corporate structure leading into 2026, the ultimate owner of Griffin's Snacks (and consequently the Huntley & Palmers brand in NZ) is the Universal Robina Corporation (URC), a multinational consumer food and beverage company based in the Philippines. This ownership structure connects a classic British heritage brand to modern manufacturing in New Zealand and global investment from Southeast Asia.
