FMCG Industry Solutions acquires Ozflow Australia

FMCG Industry Solutions (FMCGIS), a provider of specialised solutions for the Australian fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, today announced its acquisition of Brisbane-based Ozflow Australia. This strategic move integrates German drainage technology directly into FMCGIS’s portfolio, which will allow it to offer a solution to a critical hygiene challenge in food and beverage production.

The acquisition positions FMCGIS as the exclusive Australian distributor for Wiedemann Technik, a German manufacturer of hygienic stainless steel drainage systems. This directly addresses a significant vulnerability in manufacturing infrastructure: drainage as a source of bacterial contamination, such as Listeria.

“For 20 years, we’ve seen that conventional drainage is a weak link in hygienic plant design,” said David Wong, General Manager of FMCGIS. “Ozflow and Wiedemann Technik provide the engineered answer. This isn’t just an acquisition; it’s a strategic investment to eradicate a key contamination risk for our customers. We are now uniquely equipped to provide best-in-class hygiene infrastructure from the ground up.”

Unlike standard drains that are prone to cracking, the Wiedemann Technik systems are fundamentally engineered for hygiene using solid stainless steel 316L construction. The seamless, solid stainless steel housings do not crack, which prevents bacteria-harbouring crevices. Hygienic by design, the deep-drawn manufacturing process creates smooth, large-radius surfaces that promote a self-cleaning water flow. All systems are WaterMark certified to ensure full compliance with Australian Standards. Using FMCGIS’s established national network, local users can benefit from improved logistics and support, with reduced shipping times and improved availability for both standard and urgent orders from the company’s Sydney hub.
