About

An icon Down Under since 1921

More than a century of delicious destiny

The ‘hole’ story of Life Savers® starts a long, long time ago...

1912

In 1912, an American businessman named Ed Noble learned of a peppermint candy shaped like a life saver. Through Ed’s pioneering efforts in tinfoil packaging, distinctive label design and easy-reach product display, this candy with its distinctive ‘O’ shape quickly became an everyday favourite.

1921

The first Life Savers® factory was established in Australia in 1921 on Parramatta Road in Sydney, and from that moment, Life Savers® was on a roll down under.

An enterprising young Australian named Bill Kirby saw the potential of Life Savers and he played a prominent role in building Life Savers® in Australia and across Asia.

1932

In 1932, Musk was first introduced. Did you know it's a flavour unique to Australia?

1950

Over time, more Life Savers® factories opened up across Sydney and Melbourne, and in the 1950s, there were no less than 14 Life Savers® flavours being produced.
