Arnott’s opens new facility in Western Sydney

Biscuit maker Arnott’s has opened a $22 million Multi-Pack Centre at Huntingwood in Western Sydney.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian officially unveiled the facility which features state-of-the-art packaging lines.

“Arnott’s Biscuits is a much-loved Australian icon and has been operating in the country for more than 150 years,” Berejiklian said.

“The company employs more than 2,200 people, with 529 of them working at this worldclass facility in Huntingwood.

Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres says business confidence in Western Sydney is sky high meaning more local jobs, sustained growth and an improved standard of living for everyone across the State.

“When Western Sydney wins everyone benefits,” Mr Ayres said. “Jobs are set to boom in this region and we’re seeing some of the biggest names choose Western Sydney as home base.”

Campbell Arnott’s President Asia Pacific Ümit Subasi said the investment demonstrates Arnott’s commitment to manufacturing in Australia.

“The new Multi-Pack Centre will support further innovation in the products we develop for Australian consumers,” Subasi said.

“As a result of the $22 million investment, we have moved our popular snack-pack products into cardboard outers. The new outers are better for the environment, protect the biscuits more effectively and sit more neatly in pantries.”
