About the Production Team

Our Macadamia Processing facility relies heavily on the hard work of our Production team, who operate automated machines and equipment, and work together in production lines to crack, sort, cook, dice, quality test, and pack our products.

Our team works hard to maintain a high quality product for our customers by sorting and testing the product, and ensuring our work environment stays clean and hygienic.

The Working Environment

We work alongside automated machinery and equipment and therefore wear hearing protection. There are forklifts regularly navigating our site, and therefore we all wear High Vis shirts or vests to heighten our visibility. As we work with Food Products, we all wear hair nets or hats, beard nets if we have a beard, steel capped boots and any other Personal Protective Equipment where required in order to do our jobs safely.

We all work as part of a team and for some positions, this might be in a Production Line, where you stand alongside your coworkers to operate in a key part of the process.
