Brockhoff Biscuits

Brockhoff Biscuits Pty Ltd, formerly known as A. F. Brockhoff & Co., was an Australian manufacturer of biscuits based in Braidwood, New South Wales.

History

The company was founded in 1860 by Adolf F. Brockhoff.[1][2][3]

In 1882, A. F. Brockhoff & Co. advertised for staff for a factory in West Melbourne.[4]

In 1963 Arnott's Biscuits and the company merged, although they continued to trade under both names for several years until the "Brockhoff" name was completely dropped in the late 1970s.[5][6]
