Iconic FruChoc maker Robern Menz has revealed it has bought the famous Violet Crumble brand from multinational Nestle.
The family-owned SA business will begin manufacturing and selling the chocolate bar sometime in 2018.
Premier Jay Weatherill welcomed the move:
“Like many South Australians, I love Violet Crumbles, and it’s great we can now all enjoy these chocolate bars knowing we’re also supporting South Australian jobs,” he said.
“Robern Menz is a household name in South Australia, and it’s great that this local business has ambitions to grow their operations and create more local jobs in food processing.”
