History of Majans
The company started in 1960 in Ba, a small town in the Fiji Islands. Confectionary and spice products were sold on the street from carts. In 1980, a top of the line manufacturing plant was commissioned to create snack foods, including bubble gum and chocolate. In 1984, the company made their products available in Australia, using the city of Sumner Park, Brisbane as a base for operations.
Once in Australia, Majans began selling Bhuja , a traditional snack, in 1987 Majans was the first company to sell this traditional snack food commercially. Their range of Bhuja snacks became very popular and remain so to this day. In 1992, the company worked with the giant food corporation Nestle in a venture in Oceania. In 2004, the Bhuja line was repositioned and made an international product.
