About Us

Since 1872

While we officially came together as Mauri in 2014, our heritage goes back to the late 1800s.

Growing together with Aussie farmers

Baking better starts with better flours, and better flours start as simple seeds in a paddock. We believe all stages of the production process are equally important, beginning with the way our grains are planted, grown and harvested. It’s why we’re dedicated to working closely with grain growers, enabling us to add sustainable value to farming communities across Australia. We actively endeavor to source our wheat each season to deliver consistently high quality. All our wheat is 100% Australian grown, with the majority sourced from local growers close to our mills, depending on seasonal conditions. This allows us to supply a diverse range of quality ingredients to local bakeries in each state.
