Kia Ora! Hello.
Welcome to Zespri
We want to help people, communities, and the environment around the world, thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. Join us in shaping our future and be part of a truly unique organisation.
Who are we
Zespri is more than simply the world’s single-largest marketer of kiwifruit. We like to think of ourselves as fruit on a mission and as rebels with a cause: to help people, communities and the environment around the world thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. We work with around 2,800 New Zealand and 1,500 international growers and post-harvest companies to source the best-quality Zespri Kiwifruit which we supply through our distribution partners to wholesale and retail customers. We are one of New Zealand’s best-known international brands, dedicated to creating sustainable long-term value for growers.
Our People
Our People are what makes our culture so irresistible and uniquely Zespri. We are a passionate and mighty team of 900+ employees in 22 different locations globally. We have a diverse workforce, from Demand Planner to Packaging Specialists, Fruit Inspector to Climate Change Business Partner. You name it, and we probably have a role for it! Working at Zespri is an opportunity to join a fastpaced, culture-driven environment unlike any other. We want people who share our values of being personally connected, results-driven, and committed to guardianship. Join us in shaping our future and be part of a truly unique organisation.

Zespri - Led By Values
We’re a diverse bunch but one thing we all have in common is our values. They’re not corporate or top down. They were developed through engagement with our people and with our industry and our growers. We’re committed to guardianship – going the extra mile to look after our people, the community and the land. We’re results-driven – striving to be better than yesterday. And we’re all about personal connections – respecting other perspectives, and engaging with compassion and empathy. Want to keep up with our day to day? Connect with us on LinkedIN
