30 Years and Still Going Strong
From a small Ballarat factory to three world-class sites, Ferndale’s journey is a story of passion, persistence and people. This special 20-minute film celebrates our 30th anniversary, taking you behind the scenes of our factories, revisiting our history, and hearing from partners who’ve been with us since the very beginning.
Discover how Bruce Edward left MARS after 18 years to follow his dream of creating a confectionery company of his own — and how that dream grew into the Ferndale Foods you know today. This is a celebration of family, innovation, and the community that helped shape us.
