Dairy processing acquisition and re-capitalisation

Acquisition finance to secure a strategic processing asset from a large multi-national dairy business. We provided a long-term structure with a debt and equity mix. Capital provided the opportunity to grow the business through strategic acquisitions in the supply chain, allowing for vertical integration and scale.

• The business acquired a 35 hectare site in South West Victoria with a variety of use options
• Key milk district with over 2 billion litres produced annually
• State-of-the-art nutritional spray drier facility with capacity to dry 6-9 tonnes per hour
• The facility has capacity to treat +1 million litres a day of farmgate milk

The business successfully re-commissioned the site and integrated the nutritional drier to its end-to-end supply chain. Additional capital has been provided to re-capitalise a second asset which produces high-quality milk products for export markets.
