A $25 million investment in the future of Western Australia’s largest integrated pork supplier and exporter has been officially opened at Linley Valley Pork, Wundowie. Linley Valley Pork is part of the Craig Mostyn Group.
Linley Valley Pork’s new expanded chillers and boning room, the addition of another retail ready line, and logistics upgrade provides numerous capacity, quality, efficiency and value benefits to Linley Valley Pork and its commercial partners.
The upgrade was officially opened by WA Agriculture Minister Hon Jackie Jarvis at the Company’s abattoir in Wundowie, in front of staff, suppliers and business partners.
Craig Mostyn Group CEO Wayne Crofts said Craig Mostyn’s investment in the expansion would provide significant benefits to LVP, its suppliers and its Australian and international customers.
“As one of the largest pork processors in Australia, and the largest in Western Australia, the upgrades will ensure LVP possesses industry leading cold chain facilities to maximise capacity and efficiency, achieve supreme meat quality and ensure we are extracting maximum value from each pig we process through greater onsite value-adding, such as retail ready packaging,” he said.
“In particular, this expansion will increase throughput and enhance employee safety.
“These benefits, combined with our geographical location and product integrity will enhance customer experience whether in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines or Vietnam.”
Linley Valley employs more than 470 people at the Wundowie abattoir, where 100 per cent of locally sourced and WA grown pork, which includes both large and small growing operations, is processed.
Currently 15,000 pigs are processed per week producing more than 56 million kilograms of meat annually.
Mr Crofts acknowledged the staff and external contractors who have contributed to the upgrade project.
The Linley Valley Pork suppliers and staff also used the occasion to remind consumers to look for the “buy west eat best” logo to support WA farmers.
