Pure Foods Tasmania has had a long-established relationship with Monde Nissin with its Tasmanian Pate range available in the independent retail markets across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland.

“Since our listing on the ASX in April, there has been a lot of really good progress made as we deliver on our strategy,” said Pure Foods Tasmania managing director Michael Cooper.

“We are very excited about the strengthening of our relationship with Monde Nissin Australia. They are a very professional company with extremely strong customer relationships covering the Australian FMCG network.”

“We look forward to continuing to grow with them as we develop and acquire premium ‘better for you’ food & beverage brands.”

Earlier in the month, Pure Foods Tasmania announced it was establishing an incubation fund for Tasmanian food and beverage start-up, and in September, announced it is acquiring Daly Potato Company to help the company’s expansion into the ready meals market.
