Contract Manufacturing

Woodys is a New Zealand–based contract food manufacturer specialising in slow-cooked, sous-vide and value-added meat products.

We work with established food brands who have a product that already works and need a reliable manufacturing partner to scale it without building their own factory.

What we do

We take proven recipes and turn them into consistent, retail-ready or foodservice-ready products.

Our work typically includes:

• Sous-vide cooking

• Slow cooking

• Smoking

• Sauce and ingredient inclusion

• Thermoforming

• Freezing

• Batch control and food safety compliance

• Retail ready packaging and dating

We focus on processes that demand accuracy, repeatability, and yield control not novelty production.

Who we work with

We already manufacture products for well-known New Zealand food brands and we work best with brands who:

• Already sell product and understand margins

• Need production capacity, not product development theatre

• Want consistency, not constant recipe changes

• Value food safety, process, and long-term partnerships

If you are still testing ideas at home or chasing tiny volumes, we are happy to talk but we do need to ensure volumes meet expectations.

Why Woodys

• Established production facility

• Experienced team used to working at scale

• Robust food safety systems (MPI007884/1)

• Real-world understanding of retail and foodservice requirements

• Clear communication and realistic timelines

We don’t oversell. If something isn’t viable, we’ll say so early.

How it usually works

Every project is different, but most follow the same path:

1. Initial conversation to confirm fit

2. Review of existing product and volumes

3. Process and format alignment

4. Trial run (where required)

5. Ongoing production
