Bulla Dairy Foods

What Bulla Dairy Foods does

Bulla Dairy Foods, legally Regal Cream Products Pty Ltd, is a privately held, family-owned Australian dairy manufacturer founded in 1910 and headquartered in Derrimut, Victoria. The company produces chilled and frozen dairy products — cream, ice cream, yoghurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, and crème fraîche — using 100% fresh Australian milk and cream with no milk powder, drawing its milk supply from Victorian farmers across Gippsland, North Victoria, and South West Victoria. Manufacturing occurs across four Victorian sites in Colac, Mulgrave, and Dandenong South, including the newly commissioned Hearn Street ice cream factory in Colac, which represents the largest capacity expansion in the company's 115-year history and features sustainable heat pumps, two new processing lines, and expanded cold storage.

The business operates three distribution channels: (1) retail through Coles, Woolworths, and Independent Supermarkets across Australia under sub-brands including Creamy Classics, Murray Street Ice Creamery, Dollop, FroYo, and Australian Style Yoghurt; (2) a dedicated foodservice division supplying restaurants, cafes, pubs, hotels, cinemas, schools, hospitals, airports, and convenience stores through commercial distributors; and (3) an international export business reaching 16+ countries across East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania. Bulla claims to be Australia's #1 cream brand and operates sub-brands spanning core, premium (Murray Street), and health-positioned (High Protein Cottage Cheese) tiers.

In March 2026, CEO Allan Hood stepped down after 12 years with the company and was succeeded by James Downey, a fifth-generation member of one of the founding families, as acting CEO. The company is currently actively operating with no disclosed funding events, no public market listing, and no subsidiaries, partnerships, or M&A activity disclosed. Sustainability commitments include RSPO membership since 2014, annual Modern Slavery Statements, APCO packaging performance reporting, and science-based emissions reduction targets.
