RAINBOW was founded by Stanley Methven on his Father’s farm in 1960. He first sold from a stall in central Durban and the demand for RAINBOW’s chicken grew quickly, leading to the commissioning of the first processing plant in Hammarsdale in 1963.

Today, RAINBOW is one of South Africa’s largest Chicken Producers. We are a fully integrated Broiler producer that breed and rear our livestock which we feed from our Epol Feed Mills. We process, distribute and market fresh, frozen, value-added and further-processed chicken to our customers and consumers. 

RAINBOW has more than 100 farms, 3 processing plants, 2 further processing plants and 6 animal feed mills across South Africa
