National Foods is a wholly owned subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation. It is one of Australia's largest food companies, with core activities in milk, fresh dairy foods, juice and specialty cheese. The company is the only truly national market milk company in Australia with its flagship Pura brand being manufactured and sold in all States. It is the lowest cost and the most efficient processor in the Australian consumer dairy industry. It is the largest producer of juice in Australia and is also the leader in the fresh dairy foods market.
National Foods was created in 1991 by amalgamating several dairy and food related businesses with brand names and histories dating back to the 1800s.
Pura Milk is the country's number one milk brand while Pura Light Start is Australia 's leading reduced fat milk brand. Farmers Union Iced Coffee is the country's most popular flavoured milk brand and, along with Big M in Victoria and the Masters brand in Western Australia, National Foods has almost half the national flavoured milk market.
National Foods is also the leader in the dairy foods sector where the company manufactures yogurt, fromage frais, dairy desserts, cream and cheese under brands that include Yoplait, Frûche, Divine Classic, YoGo and Farmers Union.
The company also produces a range of premium specialty cheeses under brands such as King Island Dairy, South Cape, Tilba, Timboon and Clover Creek. In specialty foods, Superior Gold is the leading smoked salmon brand in Australia.
Following its merger with Berri Limited, National Foods is now the largest citrus and fruit processor in Australia, packaging approximately 50% of all fruit juice beverages sold in Australia.
Today National Foods has 3500 employees and 20 processing plants around Australia and New Zealand. There are seven milk plants, five juice plants, four specialty cheese plants, a cheese packaging plant, two dairy foods plants and our joint venture soy beverage plant.
