CRANBROOK AUSTRALIA

A True Taste Sensation

FLAVOUR MANUFACTURING COMPANY

WELCOME TO CRANBROOK AUSTRALIA

At Cranbrook Flavours Australia we’re bringing a fresh, flexible approach to the flavour industry in Australia. Based in sunny Queensland, we specialise in flavour development for food, beverage, and sports supplement brands—offering personalised service, fast turnaround times, and tailored solutions that larger flavour houses can’t match.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

• We hold stock locally for quick drawdown, ensuring our customers have the flavours they need when they need them.
• We offer smaller minimum order quantities (MOQs) to support businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to established brands.
• We collaborate closely with our customers to craft exactly what they need—whether it’s matching an existing flavour or creating something brand new.

OUR STORY

Maddie, a seasoned Food Technologist with 20 years of industry experience, spent a decade at Cranbrook in South Africa before relocating to Australia with her family. She joined forces with Dean, who brings a deep background in sports supplements and the broader food industry. Together, they saw a gap in the ANZ market for faster, more flexible flavour supply.

Frustrated by long lead times and rigid MOQs, we approached Cranbrook SA—an established, family-owned business known for its warmth and values—with the idea of expanding into the ANZ region. That same commitment to quality and customer care is now the foundation of our Australian operations.

Maddie, a food technologist with 20 years of experience in the industry. From 2006, I spent 10 years with Cranbrook in South Africa, where I played a key role in product development, quality assurance, and hands-on lab work. My passion lies in working directly with the science behind food, ensuring high standards and safe, innovative products. I’m driven by integrity and enjoy collaborating within teams to achieve the best results. Now, I’m excited to be starting Cranbrook in Australia, bringing my expertise and love for food technology to this new chapter.

I’m Dean, a professional with over 20 years of experience in the sports nutrition manufacturing industry. As a former professional athlete, I understand the importance of high-quality products that support performance and recovery. Throughout my career, I’ve noticed a gap in the Australian market for superior flavours, exceptional service, and continuous innovation in sports nutrition.
