The company offers an extensive portfolio of more than 50 brands spanning hot beverages such as Five Roses, Freshpak, Ellis Brown, Frisco and House of Coffees; sweet and savoury biscuits and snacks including Bakers, Pyotts, Provita and Willards; frozen convenience foods and out-of-home ranges from I&J and Ciro; personal care products and cosmetics under Yardley and Lentheric; and fashion footwear, accessories and apparel through Spitz, Carvela, Kurt Geiger, Tosoni, Lacoste, Gant and Green Cross. Founded in 1944 and headquartered at 2 Harries Road, Illovo, Johannesburg, South Africa, AVI Limited employs approximately 9,108 people and operates through trading subsidiaries focused on fast-moving consumer goods with a shared services structure covering international operations, IT, finance, logistics, marketing, procurement and field marketing. In recent developments, the company reported a turnover of R16.02 billion for its last financial year ended June 30, 2025, alongside a net profit of R2.43 billion, reflecting growth from the prior year's R2.26 billion. AVI Limited reduced its holding in AVI Japan Opportunity Trust plc by selling shares valued at approximately £1.6 million in November 2025 ahead of the trust's merger with Fidelity, lowering its stake to 1.7% or 2.25 million shares shared with employees. These activities underscore ongoing portfolio management and financial strengthening within its core FMCG and branded consumer operations.
