Rockit™ apple wins supreme export award
Rockit Global has the international license for the Rockit Apple variety. The unique product positioning in the snack market and away from commodity apples saw Rockit Global also win the Napier Port Industry Trail Blazer Award.
Austin Mortimer, Chief Executive, Rockit Global Limited said, ‘We are absolutely delighted to receive this recognition from Export NZ. The Rockit team have worked extraordinarily hard to build a world leading innovative apple snack brand.”
“We are now growing Rockit apples in 9 countries and selling in 29, but have big plans to expand into even more markets within the next 12 months. We are very proud of the success to date and look forward to building on it over the coming years.”
Austin is currently in New York promoting Rockit at North America’s largest Food Fair. “We are working closely with NZTE to position Rockit in the North American market. The response to our product is always amazing.”
Rockit aims to fill the demand for 100% natural snacks with no additives or preservatives.
“We‘re keen for consumers to put down unhealthy, artificial snacks and to give themselves a treat with our natural and delicious apples that have been washed and packaged so they’re ready to eat, whenever, wherever.”
