THERE is something comforting in learning many Australian household brand-name products are manufactured and distributed from a global brands distribution specialist right here in the Goulburn Valley.
From its manufacturing plant and distribution centre in Shepparton, products such as White King, Jiffy, Huggie, Softly, Lux Flakes, Aim, Sunlight dishwashing liquid and Velvet, to name a few of their portfolio of iconic brand names, are shipped all over Australia and abroad. Pental also distribute the famous Duracell battery brand all over the nation right here from Shepparton.
During the COVID period the Pental team have been busy supplying the nation with much needed hygiene and sanitation products from soap, antibacterial handwash, disinfectants, bleach and now, hand sanitizer.
A new state-of-the-art hand sanitizer plant is the most recent capital works project for the Shepparton site with the plant able to produce 30,000 litres every shift. The sanitizer has been developed to cater for all market categories from 60ml to 20 litre formats available across White King, Country Life and Aim brands.
Pental’s Shepparton plant is the only site in Australia that manufactures, from scratch, hand sanitiser, bar soap and antibacterial hand wash, all from the one site. The need for these products has strengthened during the course of the pandemic, giving Pental an opportunity to support the nation with much-needed new products across the household cleaning and personal wash markets.
The sentiment from the Pental team is that any products produced in Shepparton can be relied upon by all consumers to meet their household and personal hygiene and sanitation needs through their robust innovation research and development pipeline and ISO accredited practices.
Carmine Conte, Pental site manager, added, “No one wants to see a pandemic in any form, all we hope for here at Pental is that the nation’s hygiene and sanitation behaviors and habits continue and the nation sees the value in supporting Australian made quality products like Pental’s.”
