Our Story
How it started 
Established in 2003, Zebra's journey began with a simple yet passionate mission: to serve the South African expatriate community. Zebra International started importing quality food and drink products from South Africa, so the South African community in New Zealand could enjoy a taste of home and share their love of these products with Kiwis.
Zebra International’s owners quickly realised there was a massive demand for exotic treats. With product options often limited in little ol’ New Zealand, Zebra expanded its vision to include classic and fresh-to-market products from other counties.
From the heart of the UK to the USA, Zebra’s exploration unearthed unique brands from around the globe. Beyond being importers, the company has evolved into New Zealand's gateway to the world of exquisite tastes.
