Foureurs Co-Operative Cider & Vinegar Ltd / Foureurs Co-Operative Ltd
Joseph Hippolyte Foureur was born in Hautevilliers, France on July 16th, 1842. Prior to his migration to England with his family, he received training in champagne production at the renowned Moet winery in France. In 1873, Joseph, his wife Maria, and their daughter Bertha emigrated to Adelaide, Australia on the ship "Sattara." Upon arrival, Joseph established an aerated water company in Glenelg, known as Foureur and Kritzner. The company was the first in South Australia to produce champagne, however, Mr. Kritzner left the business in 1876 and Joseph subsequently declared insolvency. He was subsequently employed by Bickford and Son for a few years before starting his own aerated water and brewing company at his Brompton residence, where he resumed production of champagne. By 1893, the Brompton property had become too small and Joseph purchased land at 2 Murray Street, West Mitcham. With the arrival of the new century, he discontinued production of alcoholic beverages and focused on aerated waters, tonic ales, and cordials. Joseph Foureur passed away on May 23rd, 1935, leaving his sons Henry and Louis to manage the business. The company was subsequently renamed Foureur Co-operative Cider & Vinegar Limited. In 1946, the business was acquired by Frederick Chalk and renamed Foureur Co-operative Limited, with Henry and Louis taking employment at the Springfield Brewery as coopers. In 1950, Williams Breweries in Kent Town acquired the company and subsequently relocated the entire operation from Kent Town to West Mitcham, where they continued to manufacture Foureur-branded beverages.
