Today is National Family Business Day!

Galipo Foods has been proudly South Australian and family owned since 1983, when Sebastian Galipo first started the business from his home garage.

More than 40 years later, family remains at the heart of who we are — and we’re proud to supply so many other family businesses across South Australia.

Many of our customers are family businesses themselves, built through years of hard work, often across multiple generations. Many of our food suppliers and service providers are family owned too, making family businesses an important part of the Galipo community.

We’re incredibly proud of the team of people who have helped build Galipo Foods into the business it is today. Their hard work, commitment and care for our customers have been an important part of our journey for more than four decades.

Today is an opportunity to celebrate all family businesses and the important contribution they make to our economy and communities.

Thank you to our incredible staff, customers, suppliers and service providers for your continued support and for being part of the Galipo story.
