Baulkham Hills. $10.5 million upgrade

Food and beverage group, National Foods, will spend $10.5 million to upgrade its facility, at Baulkham Hills, following plans to close its Wetherill Park plant by March 2012. “We will be transferring volume across to the Baulkham Hills site. The upgrade will be around new equipment and also up-skilling our people to deal with the new equipment and new products,” said a spokeswoman for the Japanese-owned company. An undecided number of additional jobs would be created.
