Since 1997, the company has been turning out thousands of these sumptuous cream cakes and desserts which are reminiscent of confectioneries in Europe. Chateau Gateaux has grown considerably and is now South Africa's largest manufacturer of fine frozen European gateaux and desserts, producing over 40 varieties of these delicious mouth watering delicacies for top hotels, game lodges, guest-houses, restaurants, coffee shops and caterers.
The company supplies the airline and shipping industries with custom made desserts for their requirements and exports its products into Africa.
Chateau Gateaux has recently launched a new range of smaller cakes into the Kwa-zulu Natal retail market, predominantly with Pick n Pay and Checkers and these will soon will be available in Johannesburg retail stores.
Recently, we made our biggest move ever. After operating for more than seven years from our old factory in Sydney road. We built a brand new state of the art factory which was designed in accordance with ISO 22000 standards and is situated in Durban's newest business estate, Riverhorse Valley, just off the N2 Nandi Drive.
