New $130 million chocolate factory opens in Melbourne

To improve your experience update it here A massive new snack distribution centre in Melbourne's west is being hailed as a big vote of confidence in Victoria, with the Allan government declaring the $130 million facility shows it's the food and beverage capital of Australia. Standing at twice the size of the MCG, the new distribution centre for Mondelez Australia – the parent company of Cadbury – has opened in Truganina, in Melbourne's west. "We'll be moving 4 million blocks of chocolate through this distribution centre every week, for 52 weeks a year," Mondelez Australia chief executive Toby Smith said. A new chocolate distribution centre has opened up in Melbourne. (Nine) The facility uses robotic cranes and conveyor systems for automated handling, as well as 200 staff. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan officially opened the distribution centre. "This investment sends a clear message that Melbourne, Victoria is open for business," she said. "That our state is the best place in the nation to invest," she said. All 450 million Easter eggs made by Cadbury that Australians eat each year will pass through the Truganina facility between now and April. "Remember, if anyone asks you, where does the Easter bunny live, Truganina is the answer," Industry Minister Danny Pearson said. But Allan's own personal favourite Cadbury offering is a little different. "It's slightly controversial. It's Turkish Delight," she said. This article was produced with the assistance of 9ExPress .
