German packaging machinery giant Krones has added a new subsidiary which caters for the dairy industry.

Called Milkron GmbH, the division is designed to offer plant construction and service support for the dairy industry as part of its goal of becoming a global vendor for this segment.

Headquartered near Hanover, it will focus on the engineering of production lines for all liquid to paste-like dairy products.

It will cover planning, project management, automation, installation, and commissioning and acceptance testing of the equipment on-site.

Pure Foods Tasmania has entered a binding agreement to acquire the assets of Brilliant Food Australia, a premium seafood brand. The $300,000 deal adds the brand to the Woodbridge Smokehouse stable and lifts PFT’s revenue base by approximately 24 per cent.

The federal government has decided to defer the phased transition to full cost recovery for export regulatory services for one year, established a new Fertiliser Supply Working Group, and brought forward $6.15 billion in concessional capital to support Australian businesses affected by global disruptions.

Knorr, Hellmann’s, Maille and Frank’s will sit under McCormick’s roof in a transaction that marks Unilever’s exit from food manufacturing and the second-largest food deal in history.
