Sunny Queen targets foodservice market with new production facility

One of Australia’s biggest egg producers, Sunny Queen Australia, has opened a production facility that will deliver egg products created using pioneering technology.

The head office and production facility of Sunny Queen Meal Solutions in Carole Park, Queensland, will produce the company’s range of ready-to-serve egg dishes for the foodservice market that are fully cooked or pasteurised, then snap-frozen.

The managing director of Sunny Queen Australia, John O’Hara, says the $40 million, 2200 m² plant is the only one of its kind able to produce 1100 tonnes of product per annum for delivery around Australia.

Sunny Queen Australia exports its eggs and value-added meal solutions into Hong Kong, Macau and the Middle East. The products are a staple for commercial sectors including health and aged care services and foodservice companies catering to large groups, such as the defence force, mining companies, workplace cafeterias and airlines.
