Food & Drink Business

Winemaking technology company, Bucher Vaslin, has launched its Pacific operation, to provide local resources to the Australian and New Zealand markets. The new entity will be led by industry expert, Paul Baggio, bringing decades of experience and a deep understanding of local winemaking needs.

Bega Group has allegedly joined forces with global dairy giant FrieslandCampina in its bid to acquire Fonterra Co-operative Group’s Mainland business. There are two other players in the ring for Mainland – Japanese food company Meiji Holdings Co and French dairy giant Lactalis.
