Part of the Freedom Foods Group, Pactum Dairy Group (PDG) has recently commissioned a new $45 million UHT dairy beverage facility in Shepparton for the manufacture of high value-added dairy beverages for key customers in China and south-east Asia.
Under the strategic supply agreement, PDG will provide Bright Dairy with long-term supply of value-added milk products in UHT packaging formats.

“PDG will look to further build on its relationship with Bright Dairy in the longer term as it expands its product and market presence.”
