The 107-year-old Australian fruit processing company is realising its global ambitions through a backdoor listing and joining forces with a juice and a powdered milk company.

Canned fruit and vegetable producer SPC is a step closer to building a global empire following a three-way merger with ASX-listed Original Juice Company and powdered milk business Nature One Dairy that is set to create a $400 million company.

SPC chairman Hussein Rifai and managing director Robert Iervasi will become the new entity’s chairman and global managing director respectively, meaning OJC chairman and former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett will retire. “The next step is to then be looking to our target markets, which is Asia Pacific, and then on to the Middle East, and other parts of the world, Europe and potentially somewhere else.”Credit:OJC is moving more towards “functional” products with health and wellbeing benefits such as juice shots for immunity, and SPC is increasing its convenience offerings like single-serve and easy-to-heat products.

“This is about becoming a big, defensible company that can buy from Australian growers and supply Australian food into Australia, but also look at a bigger portfolio beyond,” Cail said.
