What SPC does

SPC is one of Australia's oldest food and beverage manufacturers, founded in 1918 in Shepparton, Victoria, and now headquartered in Melbourne. The company produces preserved fruits, canned tomatoes, baked beans, spaghetti, and adjacent food categories, and is the largest Australian processor of fruit, tomato, baked beans, and spaghetti. Following an October 2024 transformational merger with The Original Juice Company (chilled juices) and the powdered milk business of Nature One Dairy (infant formula, nutritional products), the combined entity — SPC Global Ltd — is listed on the ASX under ticker SPG and is expected to deliver more than A$400M in revenue and more than A$29M in EBITDA in FY25. The portfolio spans seven sub-brands (SPC, Ardmona, Goulburn Valley, Pomlife, SPC ProVital, Street Eats, The Good Meal Co) plus the newly absorbed OJC and Nature One Dairy brands, covering fruit, tomatoes, juices, dairy, frozen meals, and health products.

The core technology is conventional fruit and vegetable processing, packaging, and canning, anchored by a Shepparton manufacturing site supplied with produce from the Goulburn Valley region and processed within 24 hours of picking. SPC has vertically integrated sourcing, manufacturing, and a multi-channel distribution network covering all major Australian grocery retailers (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, Metcash/IGA, Harris Farm), a dedicated B2B foodservice division, New Zealand retail, and Asia Pacific export channels (including China) enabled by Nature One Dairy's established international footprint. The company employs 501-1000 people across Melbourne, Shepparton, and Sydney.

SPC operates a sales-led, unit-pricing FMCG model: revenue is generated through one-time packaged-goods sales to retail consumers (with RRP points such as A$2.60 for Snack Pots and A$4.60 for Goulburn Valley 700g multi-serve fruit) and B2B transaction-fee sales to foodservice operators. Customer segments center on Australian families and households seeking convenient, Australian-made preserved and prepared foods, with a secondary international segment in APAC, particularly for Nature One Dairy's powdered milk. The company was divested from Coca-Cola Amatil in 2018/2019 (acquired by chairman Hussein Rifai for ~A$65M) and is currently led by Managing Director Robert Iervasi, former Group CEO of Asahi Beverages.
