Sales & Marketing
Zealex are focused on developing and supporting worldwide customers specific requirements for Manuka honey, native tree honeys and functional honey bee products.
We concentrate on developing long-term business.
We Specialise...
in the custom blending and supply
of Manuka honey packed in bulk 300kg drums, 25kg pails, 250 & 500 gram jars.
Our Manuka honey covers a range of certified UMF grades from 5+ to 22+.
Zealex also supply Manuka honey powder in a range of grades to suit customer requirements.
Bulk Honey
Bulk Manuka Honey packed and exported in Drums and Pails is purchased for re-packing into
retail jars in the customer’s packing plants or for sale to Industrial manufacturers and Bakeries as an
Ingredient or into the Food Service sector.
Freight
We load sea containers at our facility, full capacity being 83 x 300 kg drums per 20 ft fcl. We can also load
part containers for sea freight from our local port. Additionally we palletise drums for loading as airfreight.
These drums are suited to volume users and packers of Manuka honey.
We note recently a trend where some retail customers prefer honey to be retail packed in the country of origin. In particular, Manuka honey which is only available and genuinely certified from New Zealand.
Health & Wellbeing
We have developed a range of functional honey; flavoured with Turmeric, Ginger, Chilli and
Cinnamon. As well as a range of Manuka honey gummies, royal jelly bee tonic & Manuka drink.
Enquiries are welcome.
We are happy to collaborate and form partnerships with other business parties, importers, food
manufacturers, packers and brand owners to meet a range of market demands.
Manuka honey from New Zealand is unique to the world with a wide range of valuable health
benefits which are increasingly recognised internationally. There are other New Zealand native tree
honey that also are unique and offer opportunity. We note that New Zealand Manuka honey is
certainly not the same product as Australian Manuka honey and has a number of differences.
Zealex are seeking partners in a number of countries in; Asia, Middle East, Europe and USA to work
collaboratively with them on developing sales for both bulk and retail packed UMF 5+ to 22+
Manuka Honey and other NZ Honeys and Bee products.
