more.
The SPC manufacturing facility in the Goulburn Valley is a hub of activity, processing approximately 150,000 tonnes of fruit and tomatoes a year and seeing 1,250 pallets received and dispatched every day.
SPC is focussed on providing quality, nutritious pantry items for Australians and supporting local Australian growers and farmers.
Committed to delivering value from its supply chain to consumers, SPC needed insight into performance improvement opportunities to support business decisions.
SPC engaged Nukon to help, our team started with a detailed analysis of their needs and current situation which would best support them to realise their efficiency and quality goals.
