Chobani unveils Dandenong South facility

Chobani has opened its new facility in Dandenong South in Melbourne, thus bringing together its operations into one consolidated location. Developed in cooperation with Aliro, the facility features new offices, a research and development pilot plant, and its additional warehouse gives the company an increased logistical footprint.

The inauguration of the facility was celebrated with a visit by Chobani’s founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya, who travelled from the US to meet local staff and officially open the facility. The company says that the expansion represents a commitment that the company will continue its growth in the local area.

“We have long-term ambitions to grow our business, not only through growth in the yoghurt category but also expansion beyond dairy, and this new facility will set us up to achieve these growth plans,” said Chobani Australia’s Managing Director, Lyn Radford.

“Dandenong South has been our home since day one, so we are really excited that we will continue to be a part of this thriving local manufacturing hub and give back to the local community in which we operate.”

Chobani celebrated its 10th year of operation in 2021. It entered the Australian market in 2011 and announced the expansion to its Dandenong South location last year as it sought continued growth.
