Mission Foods sets up shop in Melbourne
One of the world’s largest tortilla producers is opening a new factory in Melbourne to boost their Australian manufacturing operations. The factory, in the suburb of Epping in Melbourne’s north, will create 470 jobs.
“Mission Foods produce over 25 per cent of the world’s tortillas and have chosen to set up its manufacturing and logistics hub in Victoria,” Premier John Brumby said, welcoming their arrival. “Mission Foods exports to 50 countries worldwide and having their manufacturing and logistics hub here is a major achievement and a major vote of confidence for Victoria and our economy.”
Mission Foods is the largest tortilla and corn flour producer in the world and is engaged primarily in the production, marketing, distribution and sale of tortillas, chips, wraps, Pita and Lebanese breads, flat breads corn and wheat flour.
Regional, Rural Development and Skills and Workforce Participation Minister Jacinta Allan said the manufacturing process at the new Epping facility was based on state of the art technology created by Gruma Technology, a global subsidiary of Mission Foods.
“Gruma has partnered with the Adult Multicultural Education Services (AMES) to train some of the new Mission Foods employees who are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds,” Ms Allan said. “Mission Foods have invested heavily in Victoria, not only commercially, but also from a community perspective.”
“Mission Foods are major sponsors of the Western Bulldogs and plan to expand their employee training program with the assistance of AMES and the Spirit West Bulldogs community based training organisation.”
Mission Foods has operations in Mexico, the USA, Central America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
I have been purchsing the spinach wraps since they first came in to the market and i am very happy with them and have introduced these to my cuildren whom are all married with their own families even my youngest grandchild loves them and also the plain,but we are all commenting re the packaging as there is no reaselable bag on the market to fit them.this could even be better if it came in a resealable bag as cling wrap gets a bit messy when younger people try to undo and if not wrapped up correctly i have had to throw out as they dry out very quick in the refrigerator.If there is a container flat enough and this size on the market please let me know.as for i have searched and cannot find.
Hoping to hear from you. Regards Brigitte Mitchell
Hello.
I’ have been used the one of your product that is (Mission) flour tortillas for one years now. I have the little restaurant in the famous town in Bali called Legian, Which is many people love our foods, special the Mexican, and the flour tortillas was so delicious.
I would like to know, If I can buy through to online service Is that possible? Because I only can find in one shop called DIJON. They sometime run out, and hard for me to find it. I try to make once but they taste not that good.
And what is the minimum order?
Thankyou.
Regards Mei
Would LOVE your wraps to come in resealable bag, I use them a lot but find it difficult to wrpa them for freezer, a resealable bag would be just great
good factory
