Profile

The Gazal Group of Companies was founded in 1958 by Joe Gazal and was listed on the ASX in 1973.

In 1993, the company closed a number of its loss-making divisions, which were selling non-branded products, and decided to focus on the sale of branded products. This changed the company from a supplier of "house-brands" to a supplier of recognised national brands.
