Our story
In the early 1930s, founding member Alic Knispel started growing and packing citrus in the Riverland of South Australia.
Thirty years later, when Alic’s sons were attending Adelaide High School, the boys began collecting oranges from the family’s packing facility and hand-squeezing them in their mother’s Kilburn kitchen.The juice was sold to the local shops and taken to school with them in plastic flagons to sell to the other boys. The Knispel boys and their father were nicknamed ‘Nippy’ by their friends and consequently, the juice became known as ‘Nippy’s juice’.
The Nippy’s family now owns three companies in South Australia that are independently owned and run by members of our Nippy’s family.The main business is the manufacture of fruit juice and flavoured dairy products under the Nippy’s name.Controlling the quality, consistency and freshness – from tree to pack – has helped us develop a well-loved South Australian brand, as well as a diverse range of delicious products.
