Murray Goulburn invests $14m in Tas

26 June 2014

Murray Goulburn will invest $14 million to create new packaging capability at the company’s Edith Creek manufacturing site in north-west Tasmania.

The investment will allow the Edith Creek site to develop a range of dairy beverages catered to the Asian market.

MG managing director Gary Helou said the technology was the first of its kind to be implemented in Australia.

“The world-leading technology we are bringing to Edith Creek is the first of its kind for our business and the investment will secure sustainable, high skilled jobs in the region and current staff will be trained to produce the new, higher value products,” Mr Helou said.

The investment is expected to secure the jobs of the site’s 180 workers, rather than create new jobs.
