We are investing in a new Packaging Hub in Devonport, Tasmania to better serve the state’s farmers, and food and beverage companies.
The hub is a part of our long term commitment to the state. It will supply cardboard packaging to customers across Tasmania, including berry and produce growers, breweries and the dairy industry.
The modern, fit for purpose facility—which was officially opened yesterday by Australian Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Julie Collins—will support jobs in the state’s growing agriculture and food sectors.
This investment reflects our confidence in the future of Tasmanian agriculture and manufacturing, said CEO Mark De Wit.
“We’re helping get premium Tasmanian produce, food and drinks to Australian supermarket shelves and take advantage of export markets in the region.”
“Visy is committed to providing the infrastructure the state needs for farmers and the food and beverage sector to thrive.
“Tasmania has some of the best produce in the world and this new site will deliver greater convenience and responsiveness for customers, with improved capacity and dedicated support.”
The new site includes an 8,500 square metre warehouse and office space for sales and customer service.
We manufacture our own kraft and 100% recycled paper, to ensure a secure, local supply for our cardboard packaging factories to deliver on time, every time for our customers.
