Moir's has been a successful South African brand for over a 100 years. Products range from desserts and bakes, to jellies and custards. The business was founded by Scotsman, John Moir, who began by making fruit-flavoured jellies. The first Moir's jelly in South Africa was produced in a factory in Woodstock just after the First World War. The company subsequently expanded its product offering, moving to premises in Ndabeni to accommodate increased production in 1950. Today, Moir's is the leading brand when it comes to jellies, custards and instant puddings - indeed a delectable tradition!
