Just the remedy: a $43 million kombucha factory in Vic
A $43m kombucha manufacturing centre has been opened in Dandenong with support from the Andrews Labor government.
The centre was developed by Remedy Drinks, which produces kombucha drinks that can be stored at room temperature without needing refrigeration.
With fermented tea drinks growing in popularity around the world, the new centre will boost the company’s production and exports to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Asia.
Managing Director of Remedy Drinks Chris Gillard said: “The new Remedy Fermentary in Dandenong will allow us to deliver on significant increases in demand as well as provide opportunities for ongoing innovation, delivering better beverages across all drink categories.”
The company has combined all of its operations into the new 18,000 m2 site — the same size as the MCG.
Minister for Industry Support and Recovery Ben Carroll said: “We’re proud to support local manufacturers with global ambitions like Remedy because their continued growth means more jobs for Victorians.”
