About Anchor Foods

The Anchor Foods story began in 1854 when an enterprising young mariner and merchant from the Shetland Isles, Gilbert Wood, took possession of an unpaid cargo.

Where others would have seen ruin he saw opportunity and, with great intiative, on-sold the groceries to recover debts.

Opting to leave his life on the high seas, Gilbert started his own grocery store and chose the sign of the Anchor as its symbol. From humble beginnings, the company prospered and quickly gained the reputation of being a first class supplier of quality grocery foods across Australia.

For well over 100 years the port city of Fremantle has been the home of Anchor Foods. The company continues to build on its fine traditions of integrity and reliability, bringing to you pure and trusted products.
