My Muscle Chef opens $55m facility in Western Sydney

My Muscle Chef has opened its new $55 million manufacturing and logistics facility in Yennora, Western Sydney.

The 10,000 m² facility will allow the company to more than double its capacity to be able to produce over 1.2 million fresh meals every week.

The facility will provide additional capabilities across food manufacturing, technology and logistics. It will also allow the company to expand its workforce by 20%, with the new facility having the capacity for a 600-person workforce spanning across trained chefs, food technology engineers and technicians, and quality assurance, alongside operations, finance, product development, marketing and software engineering.

Chief Executive Officer Tushar Menon said: “We are so proud of the evolution of My Muscle Chef over the past nine years. What started out in a small start-up kitchen has become a 10,000 m² facility capable of producing and supplying over one million fresh meals to Australians across the country every week.

“I’m particularly proud that we are continuing to invest in Western Sydney, where I grew up and where I still call home, providing a wide variety of employment opportunities and career paths to the community, and boosting the local economy.”

My Muscle Chef produces fresh ready-made meals, snacks and drinks for the direct-to-consumer e-commerce and retail FMCG market. The team works with over 200 Aussie growers to supply 70 tonnes of protein and 92 tonnes of vegetables every week, which is set to grow with the opening of the new facility.
