At Manufactor, we back local makers, and few industries are more vital to the strength and self-sufficiency of our country than food manufacturing.

Australia is known globally for its high-quality produce. But behind that success lies a complex challenge: ensuring we have the infrastructure, innovation, and support systems in place to keep that food being grown, processed, and manufactured locally.

In a time of global uncertainty, securing Australia’s food future is no longer just a nice idea - it’s a national imperative.

Food Manufacturing Is National Security

Over the past few years, we’ve seen just how fragile international supply chains can be. From pandemic disruptions to climate shocks and shipping delays, the risk of relying too heavily on imported food and ingredients is becoming clear.

Australian food manufacturing helps us do more than feed ourselves. It keeps jobs in local hands. It strengthens regional economies. And it ensures that what we grow here can also be processed, packaged, and proudly consumed here - without being sent overseas and back.

But here’s the problem: while the sector is ready to grow, the infrastructure often isn’t.

A Precinct With Purpose

The food manufacturing sector is ready to grow - but growth won’t happen in outdated facilities or disconnected industrial parks. It requires spaces that are designed for scale, sustainability, and community.

At Manufactor, we’re not just providing space. We’re building a platform - a place where food innovators, legacy brands, and emerging producers can grow side-by-side, learn from each other, and access the resources they need to thrive.

Australia’s food security is too important to outsource. By supporting the businesses who are making it here, we’re investing in a stronger, more resilient future for everyone.

We’re proud to be part of that story and proud to support the people feeding our nation.
