PROMINENT leader in the Australian meat processing industry, Greenham, celebrated the grand opening of its state-of-the-art Tongala facility on Saturday, October 7.
The event was a diverse celebration attended by international and domestic customers, local farmers, and members of the local community.
The journey at Tongala began in 1993, and now, in 2023, Greenham has ushered in a new era with a multi-million-dollar investment into the complete redevelopment of its Tongala site.
This transformation has greatly enhanced the plant’s processing capabilities, with a processing capacity of 1050 cattle per day. The plant’s expanded capabilities now allow it to process a variety of cattle types, including the ability to handle high-quality cattle.
“I’m proud to celebrate the opening of this facility with our customers, local farmers, and the community,” said Peter Greenham, managing director of Greenham.
“Our new facility represents a pivotal moment in our company’s history. Leveraging the latest technology, we are poised to deliver exceptional beef to consumers worldwide in a way that’s sustainable and efficient.”
The facility boasts 1000 solar panels, harnessing clean and renewable solar energy, while also utilising cogeneration systems for electricity and heat capture. These efforts align with Greenham’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, including advanced water recycling practices.
The facility also features substantial freezing capacity to meet global export demands. This capability ensures that Greenham can efficiently serve its customers across the globe while maintaining the highest quality standards.
