About Us

Rewind back to the turn of the millennium.

Tony Parun, a former tennis professional that had represented

New Zealand in Davis Cup had returned home to Wellington after

spending 25 years in Karlsruhe, Germany.

One night in early January 2000 Tony invited a close friend, which

had stayed at his home in Wellington for several months, to a local

pub. After enjoying a few beers and Wellington’s unbeatable

hospitality their appetite for a German Brezel grew. Finally Tony

was asked to order a Brezel. But there was no Brezel to be

found. The rest is history and the birth of BrezelMania. After

market research and hours of brainstorming, the project

BrezelMania was launched.

German Bakers were employed and a production facility installed

in Petone. The first Brezels were wholesaled in 2001. In December

2002 Brezelmania opened doors to its first retail store on Jackson

Street, Petone.

Shortly after retail outlets opened in Kelburn, Lower

Hutt, Thorndon and Kilbirnie.

As the product range grew quickly due to the increased demand in

the wholesale sector of the business.

What started as an idea while drinking a beer twenty years ago

has now grown into a business with over 40 employees that caters

to Hospitality Groups, Restaurants and Cafes across the greater

Wellington Area and nationwide.
