According to reports, UK-based meat processor Hilton Food Group has announced the opening of a new meat processing facility in Queensland.
The facility will be primarily supplying Woolworths and will be capable of supplying Woolworths stores across both Queensland and parts of New South Wales, with beef, lamb, pork and other meat products.
The company is now in the process of acquiring an appropriate site for the facility and securing the relevant government approvals.
“It is proposed that Hilton’s Australian subsidiary, Hilton Foods Australia, will finance the new food packing facility, with current target for the commencement of production of 2020,” a company statement said.
