Cairns Holdings

Cairns Foods, formerly Willards, began as a motorcar distribution company in the 1920s and continued to grow until 1970, when the group experienced significant growth as a result of the acquisition of several large companies in the country at the time. The most notable acquisition was Willards Foods Ltd and its subsidiaries in 1976, which marked the company's entry into the food industry. Then came the establishment of Mukuyu Winery in 1980, followed by the acquisition of Cerebos Foods in 1982, which resulted in the establishment of the fruits and vegetables canning division. The group has since merged its operations into one company; Cairns Foods. All of Cairns Foods' products are produced locally in our manufacturing plants in Harare, Mutare, and Marondera, and is home to over 1500 employees.
