Longwarry Food Park Pty Ltd

Home About Home About Company Who We Are Longwarry Food Park, through its popular Gippy Milk brand, has become a true success story of the Australian dairy industry. Located in West Gippsland, just outside Melbourne, the milk processor has won a reputation for innovation, export excellence and rewarding dairy farmers for their hard work in producing some of the world's best milk. Longwarry Food Park's history dates back almost 100 years, but we are a company that is always looking to the future. The original buildings were part of a local dairy co-operative which passed through several hands before closing down in 1999. Saurin Group of Companies purchased the plant in 2001 and renamed it Longwarry Food Park to re-establish the plant's heritage and link to the local community. The Gippy Milk brand has since grown into a success story for the Australian export industry. The plant has been upgraded to make it a state-of-the-art and eco-friendly manufacturing facility.
