The Australian business has also entered a co-manufacturing deal with Fair Dinkum Foods.
Australia food and drink group SPC Global is restructuring its manufacturing footprint, including closing a juices plant in Melbourne.
SPC Global said it plans to shutter its Mill Park juice facility in Victoria state in August, a site that produces the companyaEUR(TM)s Original Juice Co. and Juice Lab Wellness Shots brands.
Listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, SPC Global said in a bourse filing today (26 February) that the move is aEURoepart of a broader shift to a demand-led operating modelaEUR designed to lower costs and improve its aEURoeability to scale domestically and internationallyaEUR.
The company became SPC Global in 2024 following the merger of its own operations with the Original Juice Co. and Nature One Dairy, a brand of infant-formula and baby foods. It also brought together SPCaEUR(TM)s packaged fruit, tomatoes and baked beans businesses under one roof, including the Ardmona, Goulburn Valley and Street Eats lines.
As part of the upcoming production transition, SPC Global said its aEURoehigh-growth brandsaEUR will continue to be manufactured inhouse, including Juice Lab Wellness Shots. However, production will move from Mill Park to the companyaEUR(TM)s site in Shepparton, also in Victoria.
Juices production under the Original Juice Co., private label and B2B will be farmed out to a co-manufacturer under a aEURoelong-termaEUR agreement with Griffith, New South Wales-based Fair Dinkum Foods, the owner of the Real Juice Company.
Robert Iervasi, who became managing director following the business combination, said: aEURoeFollowing the merger, we reassessed our manufacturing footprint to ensure capital is deployed efficiently and aligned with our strongest growth brands, strengthening the business for long-term growth."
aEURoeBy deploying capital more efficiently, backing our strongest growth brands and partnering where it makes strategic sense, we are strengthening the business for long-term growth, accelerating international expansion and continuing to invest in Australian manufacturing.aEUR
The reset aims to realise annualised costs savings of A$8m ($5.6m) but will incur costs for SPC Global of A$23.5m.
While new employment positions will be created at SPC GlobalaEUR(TM)s Shepparton site and at Fair Dinkum FoodsaEUR(TM) plant in Griffith, jobs look likely to go at Mill Park.
aEURoeRedeployment opportunities [will be] offered where possible,aEUR SPC Global said in the filing.
Just Drinks has asked the company to quantify potential job losses.
Alongside the restructuring, SPC Global also announced its first-half results today.
Group revenue dropped 13.3% to A$197.9m. Domestic business sales fell 6.6% to A$155.6m, while the international segment delivered A$15.9m, down 42.4%.
Normalised EBITDA almost doubled, from A$7.5m to A$13m.
Net profit after tax remained in the red - a loss of A$11.2m versus a A$10.3m loss a year earlier.
