Maketū Pies has been saved again, two weeks into its liquidation process.
Privately-owned catering business Montana Group took over the 42-year-old brand and its about 20 employees today.
Maketū Foods Ltd was placed into voluntary solvent liquidation by its previous owner, Te Arawa Management Ltd, at the end of November, and liquidators had been seeking a buyer for the business.
Te Arawa bought the company in a receivership process five years ago.
Montana Group employs about 1000 people and has 30 kitchens across Tāmaki Makaurau and the Waikato.
Representatives from Montana Group met with the Maketū Pies team this week to make introductions and start the transition process.
More to come.

I LOVE peas and veges in pies... :-) I guess we all have different tastes... Maketu pies have always been of a good standard and it is always good to pick up a couple when visiting the beautiful little beach there. Glad they have been salvaged and wish Montana every success with the brand.
Fantastic

Now you have to sell pies to survive good luck but think you have a huge battle to survive in the world of pies.
I agree Nug
