Founded in 2001 by father Terry and sons Sean and Nathan “Garlo” Garlick, the business began as a small pie shop in Maroubra, Sydney, Australia. Since then, it has grown significantly, with their new facility now producing 80,000 high-quality pies, sausage rolls, muffins, and other savory products every day. A proud exporter, Garlo’s supplies pies to Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand and New Caledonia as well as supplying domestically to major retailers like Coles, Woolworths, and Costco, as well as over 300 foodservice customers across NSW and QLD markets.
