Saputo invests in Tasmanian facility following closures in Vic
Saputo Dairy Australia (SDA) has announced a $20 million investment in its Smithton plant in Tasmania.
News of the factory expansion in north-west Tasmania follows the company’s consolidation initiative in Victoria and South Australia announced late last year.
In November 2022, SDA announced it was permanently closing its Maffra, Victoria, facility this year (2023) due in declining milk supplies. The company said it will also scale back activities at two other facilities by shutting down its bulk powders production area located in Leongatha, Victoria, and closing its cheese packaging area in Mil-Lel, South Australia.
The Tasmanian facility expansion is expected to be used to manufacture high-value dairy products, including frozen cream cheese which was previously manufactured at the Maffra facility.
