Western Australian based company D’Orsogna has begun construction on a new $66 million food manufacturing facility at Merrifield Business Park, 30km north of Melbourne.

The new facility will employ 240 people and compliment their Mt Waverley plant in Victoria that opened in 2007. The D’Orsogna family first had a presence in Melbourne in 1947 when Tommaso and Giovanni D’Orsogna worked in the food and hospitality industry before returning to Perth to open a butcher shop in 1949. The D’Orsogna family has now been making quality hams and continental meat products for almost 70 years with their products standing the test of time. Product ranges, and popularity, have continually grown and improved.

Managing Director Brad Thomason said the new facility would double production capacity. “D’Orsogna has consistently experienced year on year growth and the new facility will provide a larger production capacity and greater product development opportunities. We anticipate a larger percentage of our expanded production capacity will be produced out of the new Victorian facility due to its proximity to major markets and its streamlined manufacturing processes,” Mr Thomson said.

The company has finalised the design of the green-field facility, which will incorporate the latest energy and water conservation technology. The new facility will exceed the standards for export approval and the south-east Asian market will become a focus in the medium term.

Currently headquartered at Palmyra, near the port of Fremantle, WA, D’Orsogna produces a range of cured and cooked whole and sliced hams, gourmet continental goods, bacon and sausages. D’Orsogna currently supplies companies such as Woolworths, Coles, Metcash and food service business’s right across Australia, employing over 550 people.

“We are meeting increasing customer demand for quality D’Orsogna products and the opportunity to develop new markets with our increased production capacity. We understand what consumers want and deliver products accordingly, while focussing on taste, convenience, safety and price” Thomson outlined.
