Mccain
Investment Services in Johannesburg

Welcome to the McCain South Africa Site.
From our Head Office in Bedfordview, Johannesburg, we have quickly become South Africa’s leading supplier of frozen chips, vegetables, and meals both to the retail and to the rapidly expanding food services industry.
We believe that we are now well on our way to being accepted as an iconic South African brand in our own right.
To start our South African operation, we bought a majority shareholding in an iconic South African brand.

We strive to produce good, simple food, from wholesome ingredients, which make meals more delicious. We set down our roots on South African soil in 2000 and we are a proudly South African enterprise. It's a tribute to our high standards and quality foods that in just over 10 years we’ve managed to become a household favourite of frozen chips, vegetables and meals. We believe that good old-fashioned hard work, constant development and a passion for making good food has been the key to our success. From our products, to our people, to our relationships with our customers, and even the way we work with our farmers. And every single vegetable is grown carefully, and lovingly picked and prepared the McCain way, to ensure freshness, quality and deliciousness. We constantly review our existing practices and try to find new ways to ensure we’re keeping up with the industry around us and giving our people opportunities to grow. We run a number of structured and functional training initiatives each year. Every programme is aligned as far as possible with the National Qualification Framework and supports industry skills and development initiatives. We believe it’s our total dedication to only supplying the very highest quality products that has made us South Africa’s favourite frozen food supplier and brand. Being awarded a gold standard accreditation is the highest accolade in the AIB system. And when it comes to protecting the safety of the food supply chain, nobody takes it more seriously than AIB. This award simply affirms that our plants are all run with the very highest food safety excellence levels in mind. Most of our McCain products are proudly grown and manufactured right here on South African soil. We always go to great lengths to source our produce from South African farms, and only when we absolutely can’t get what we’re looking for, do we look elsewhere. It is nature and our farmers who provide us with our most important raw ingredients, so because they’ve been so good to us over the last few years, we think it’s only fair that we’re good in return. That’s why we’re 100% committed to reducing the impact we have on the environment whilst nurturing new initiatives for sustainable farming, production, distribution and waste management. We also do everything we can to support, nurture and build great relationships with our farmers. We have a number of top commercial farmers who make a massive contribution in our industry and supply us with the bulk of our crops, and others too. They also play an important role in setting the highest possible standards in their regions. Being all good by no means refers to just our food. McCain looks out for the environment, the community, and its people. We do this by supporting programmes that have widespread social impact, particularly in the realms of education, health and active living. We give support through the volunteer efforts of our incredible people, transfer of our knowledge and expertise to growers, the donation of our products and services, and sponsorships towards worthy goals.
