The best News: King Island Dairy is Saved!
We are thrilled to share some GINtastic news with our King Island community! Saputo Dairy Australia has announced the successful sale of King Island Dairy to new owners King Island Dairy 2 Pty Ltd, led by Melbourne-based businessmen Nicholas Dobromilsky and Graeme Wilson. This sale ensures the continuation of our beloved specialty cheeses and secures local jobs.
A celebratory announcement was made on King Island by the Premier of Tasmania, with Happy Heidi and the King Island Response Team. This transition marks a monumental step for our largest employer and reflects the dairy's deep historical roots in our community.
We celebrate this positive outcome for King Island and are very grateful. Australian ownership and supporting local businesses enriches our community and enhances King Island's brand, authentic flavour and quality.
