On the verge of closing its doors for good, Maketu Pies has again been saved following a fortnight long liquidation process.
Privately-owned catering business Montana group took over the 42-year-old brand and its 20 odd employees.
Maketū Foods Ltd was placed into voluntary solvent liquidation by its previous owner, Te Arawa Management Ltd, at the end of November, and liquidators had been seeking a buyer for the business.
Te Arawa bought the company in a receivership process five years ago.
Montana Group, a fairly big player in the catering game employs roughly 1000 people and runs 30 kitchens in both Auckland and the Waikato region.
The group met with the Maketu Pies crew this week to make introductions and start the transition process.
