The group, which is revamping its business by looking to dispose its “non-core” assets, plans to boost its presence in the Australian biscuit market after completing the restructuring of Paradise Food Industries.


Goodman bought Brisbane-based Paradise last year in a A$78.8m (US$56m) deal. The acquisition signalled Goodman’s entry into biscuits in Australia.


A spokesman for Goodman told just-food today (13 May) that the company’s revamp at Paradise had “significantly reduced operating costs”.


Goodman is “exploring” the “potential for consolidation” in the biscuit sector, the spokesman said, although he declined to comment further.
