The Arnott's Group

The Arnott's Group and The Arnott's Foundation are committed to supporting Camp Quality in helping improve the quality of life for kids impacted by cancer and their families. In 2024, we donated $175,000 to Camp Quality, which allowed over 170 kids to experience Kids Camps and Family Getaways. A huge thank you to everyone across our business and our suppliers for making this possible. We're looking forward to celebrating 20 years of this incredible partnership in 2025!

The Kindness Collective Foundation in New Zealand makes a significant impact by supporting children and families in poverty or experiencing hardship, providing essential items like food, clothing, shelter, and safety. This year we are proud to support them once again by donating thousands of our Arnott’s snacks and biscuits to their Christmas Joy Store and food bank.   Each year, The Christmas Joy Store provides over 10,000 children and their families with presents, treats and food to enjoy on Christmas Day.

Driver Reviver plays an especially important role at this time of year. For nearly 25 years, The Arnott's Group has supported their mission to save lives by supplying Arnott’s snacks and biscuits for travellers to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee at every Driver Reviver stop.    Each year, across 180+ sites, over 5,000 Driver Reviver volunteers serve more than 300,000 Arnott’s biscuits to 750,000+ travellers.   We’re proud to play a small but important role in helping travellers reach their destinations safely.

We were delighted to welcome the Premier of South Australia Peter Malinauskas, Treasurer Stephen Mullighan, Local Member for Badcoe Jayne Stinson and Business Council of Australia CEO Bran Black for a tour of our Marleston bakery today. Their visit coincided with the launch of the Business Council of Australia’s Regulation Rumble report which speaks to why South Australia is a great state to do business. As our Chief Supply Chain Officer Tim Morgan shared with media, “Arnott’s has been baking biscuits in Australia for almost 160 years and here in South Australia for 62 of those. In the past year, we’ve invested $44 million into our Marleston bakery to build a gluten free facility and increase the volume of biscuits the site is able to make. We’re proud of our history in the State and are committed to continuing to make some of Australia’s favourite Arnott’s biscuits locally.”

We recently welcomed Claudia Poposki from News Corp Australia into our gluten free bakery in Adelaide for an exclusive sneak peek tour. It was an exciting opportunity to showcase how our delicious gluten free biscuits are made with the utmost attention to taste, quality and stringent allergen standards, as certified by Coeliac Australia.   We are proud to offer the millions of Australians following a gluten free lifestyle some of their favourite Arnott’s biscuits. With demand growing, we continue to research, develop, and expand our gluten free range to offer a wider variety of bikkies that everyone can enjoy.   Read more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gMX9yker

Last week The Arnott’s Group announced the acquisition of three nutritional snacking brands: Mother Earth, Flemings, and Value Pack from New Zealand business, Prolife Foods Ltd. These brands will join our growing portfolio of better-for-you snacks and cereals.   Managing Director for New Zealand, Mike Cullerne, shared with NZ Herald our commitment to manufacturing locally and taking NZ innovations global.   “In an environment where demand for nutritious snacks continues to rise, we’re able to take three local brands and introduce them to new markets and consumers. Our primary focus at this point would be to expand our Australian business as quickly as possible."   Read the full interview here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gK7rs2jA

Recently, members of The Arnott’s Group procurement and R&D team, along with our grain partners, Allied Pinnacle, met with seven soft wheat growers in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.   Each of these growers has started growing the ‘Scotch’ wheat variety from our Soft Wheat Breeding Program. Together with Allied Pinnacle and LongReach Plant Breeders LRPB, we developed a soft wheat that is more resilient to disease and drought and produces enhanced yield. This makes it a sustainable crop for Australian farmers and an ideal flour for our Arnott’s biscuits.   The Scotch variety is expected to make up to 60-70% of the growers’ 2024 harvest, marking a significant step towards sustainable agriculture.   Simon Gelling, Michelle Toutounji, Greg Harnwell, Robyn Murray, James Gray, Jacky Sung
