Hilton Foods Australia (HFA) has unveiled its $280 million meat production facility in Heathwood, Queensland. The facility will produce finished fresh meat products for over 450 Woolworths stores across Northern New South Wales and Far North Queensland.
The technology being used at the Heathwood facility is expected to drive a step change in the consistency and quality of fresh red meat and improve stock availability. The facility will deliver over 1500 tonnes of fresh red meat to Woolworths stores each week, alongside HFA’s existing meat processing facilities in Melbourne and Perth.
