Patties going ready
Patties Foods is extending its product range and entering the vibrant ready-meal market. The company has just acquired Simplot’s Pakenham facility in outer Melbourne — land, building and equipment — to facilitate this expansion.
Patties will continue to produce its savoury baked goods at its Bairnsdale site and will move its fruit production line to Pakenham, where it will also contract manufacture Leggo’s pasta products for Simplot Australia as it also moves into ready meals and pastas.
With Patties pie sales experiencing double-digit growth, its Bairnsdale plant is not going to be neglected. A $20 million expansion of this facility will support a 25% increase in its output of of Four'N Twenty, Patties, Herbert Adams and Nanna’s pies.
