Adelaide-based Beston – a dairy-to-meat group – said the reconfigured mozzarella plant increases the company’s dairy manufacturing capabilities and will allow it to increase its product range to customers through its existing wholesale, foodservice and retail channels for the domestic and export markets. 

The mozzarella line has a production capacity of around 16,000 tonnes per annum and also provides increased production of its whey products.

Sean Ebert, BFC’s chief executive officer, said that the completion of the mozzarella plant marks off one of the company’s key strategic objectives – to achieve both an increase in the milk throughput at our dairy factories and an increase in the utilisation of the assets employed in this division.
