The Little Cracker is manufactured by Tarlan Technical Ltd, which is a general engineering business owned by husband and wife team Bert and Jodi van Beuzekom. Their daughter, Taryn, also helps out too, trading learning valuable skills that she may need in a future job for wages, which is a labour of love.
