Job opportunities in Ravenhall continue to grow as Allied Pinnacle prepares to open its new purpose-built Victorian facility.
Now that construction has concluded and the doors are just weeks from opening, the leading flour and bakery manufacturer marked the occasion with a ceremonial cherry blossom planting and ribbon cutting.
The Ravenhall Distribution Centre, now Allied Pinnacle’s largest footprint nationwide, will play a key role in distributing flour and bakery goods, servicing several Australian states and territories including Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.
The site officially opens on Monday, November 18, offering a range of jobs across logistics, warehousing and administration, while also supporting local suppliers and service providers.
Kororoit MP Luba Grigorovitch said it was encouraging to have food being manufactured in the west.
“It’s fantastic to see Allied Pinnacle making such a significant contribution to the local community,” she said.
“The Ravenhall Distribution Centre will provide valuable jobs and opportunities, helping to boost the region’s economy. I commend Allied Pinnacle for its commitment to innovation and sustainability and I’m proud to see Victoria play such a central role in Australia’s food manufacturing industry.”
Allied Pinnacle chief executive David Pitt said the opening was the start of an exciting chapter.
“This facility not only strengthens our ability to serve customers across multiple states but also reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality products,” he said.
“We’re proud to contribute to the local economy and look forward to creating more opportunities for growth in the region.”
The distribution centre features a test kitchen for customers, integrated fit out, corporate office, and integrated sustainability measures.
