Food safety challenges look different depending on where you sit in an organisation. An operations manager needs production back on track. A quality manager needs the audit preparation load off their desk. A CEO needs to know the numbers make sense. We tailor every engagement to the person and the problem – not just the business. Find your role below.
Who We Help
We support food industry leaders at every stage of growth, from startups to established manufacturers, helping them manage compliance, quality, operations, retail readiness, and business growth.
Business Owner
and Startup
Growing a food business is hard enough without having to decode food safety regulations, certification requirements, and retail compliance rules at the same time. Produco gives you a clear path through what you need – and what you do not need to worry about yet.
CEO
and Executive
When the quality team is requesting more resources, compliance costs are rising, and you still cannot guarantee you will pass the next audit, something needs to change. Produco works with CEOs and executives to make food safety a commercial asset, not a cost centre.
Export and
Supply Chain Manager
Whether you are entering a new market, managing ongoing export requirements, or dealing with a shipment that has been stopped at the border, we have the knowledge and the regulatory contacts to get it resolved.
GM and Head of
Food Safety
We bring an authoritative, independent view. We have worked at the senior level in some of NZ’s most complex food safety environments – including Fonterra at the governance level. We know what best practice looks like and we can tell you, clearly, where your organisation sits relative to it.
Operations
Manager
We come in, assess the situation quickly, and give you a clear action plan. No jargon. No unnecessary bureaucracy. We fix the root cause – not just the symptom – so you are not dealing with the same issue in three months.
Quality
Manager
We work alongside your team – not above it. We can take on specific tasks, support audit preparation end-to-end, close out non-conformances, and provide the hands-on expertise your team needs to keep up with what is required.
Medicinal Cannabis
Compliance Lead
We provide specialist support across the full compliance picture – from initial licensing through to HACCP, GMP alignment, and export requirements.
NPD and
Reformulation Lead
We come in early, assess the compliance picture for your product, and give you a clear checklist of what needs to happen and when. We can work alongside your team throughout the development process – keeping compliance on track so it does not derail the timeline.
