why davis
DAVIS Gelatine was established in Botany, Australia in 1917. In 1995 the factory was relocated to Beaudesert, Queensland where it remains today and continues to be the only gelatine manufacture plant in Australasia. Every day we strive to refine the art of gelatine manufacture and our dream remains to have a DAVIS product in every household in Australia.
Sir George Francis Davis
(1883-1947)
Sir George Francis Davis arrived from New Zealand and founded Davis Gelatine in Sydney, 1917. Gelatine was not made on any scale in Australasia at that time, so George travelled to London to educate himself in the intricacies of gelatine production. On returning, he dedicated his life to refining the craft, his dream being to have a Davis product in every household in Australia. With a head for business and a passion for food, George created many of Australia’s first cookbooks, and it wasn’t long before Davis with their ‘Dainty Dishes’ was not only an Australian household name but trusted internationally as a culinary kitchen staple.
Today, George‘s dream lives on, and we hope our products help you make dishes you love… for the ones you love!
