From 1883 when the first butter and cheese factories began to dot the landscape of Manawatu, local entrepreneurs Joseph Nathan and Sons quickly realised the potential for the export of dairy products. They became interested in the processing of dried milk and obtained the patent for this product in Australia and New Zealand. By the end of 1904 Nathan and Sons had a new purpose-built dried milk processing factory operating at Bunnythorpe. The factory was rebuilt after fire damage in 1906 and dried milk was produced at this site for the next 70 years. The target market for the Nathans’ dried milk was the growing cities of England, where fresh milk was not always readily available and where hygiene considerations made dried milk a very attractive proposition as an alternative baby food. “Glaxo” was chosen as the name for this new “baby food”. Success was not immediate, but eventually a marketing operation with the slogan "Glaxo builds bonny babies" proved to be very successful. During World War I dried milk sales rocketed as the product was adopted as part of the daily diet of the troops in the trenches. Manufacture of these dried milk and baby cereal food products continued at the original Bunnythorpe site until production ceased in 1973. The Glaxo company ceased all food and beverage production at the end of 1987. "Glaxo" baby food now just remains as a memory for those of us old enough to recall it. Today, the old factory building still stands at Bunnythorpe, in a particularly dreary industrial setting. From these humble beginnings in a small Manawatu settlement a multinational pharmaceutical company was launched.
