Rockit Trading Company (Booth no.: 3J14)
www.rockitapple.com

Rockit began as a tiny seed of an idea 20 years ago. While the rest of the world was super-sizing their apples, it did the opposite. From Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand Rockit created the world’s one-of-a-kind, perfectly-sized small apple and packed it with concentrated flavour and goodness. Then Rockit thought differently again and created unique, premium packaging to disrupt the category and stand out on-shelf. Its apples are now sold in more than 30 countries around the world – and grown in eight, which means they’re fresh all year around. In a world of sameness, different is how Rockit stands out and gets ahead. Pioneering and innovating. Faster, greater, fresher. It’s got a winning difference – and big ambitions to be the world’s most loved apple brand. And in true Rockit style, it’s making this happen.
