Heinz Watties to move some production to NZ

NZPA | Friday May 27, 2011 | 33 comments

Global food company Heinz Watties is shifting production of sauces, beetroot and some canned meal products from three plants in Australia to its facilities in Hastings.

Production at its Girgarre plant in Victoria, a plant in Brisbane and a plant at Wagga Wagga in New South Wales will move to Hastings.

"While a small number of new positions will be created, the Hastings facilities have the infrastructure to absorb the additional volumes into current operations," chief operating officer Michael Gibson said.

The change, decided after a review of trans-Tasman manufacturing, will be implemented in the next 12 months.

The consolidation of manufacturing was designed to make the company more competitive, the company said.

And all this going on while our dollar is so high(along with those others shifting processing/manufacturing to NZ just now)

Surely Dr Bollard this cannot be?

All that cheap labour in NZ is just too tempting for these multi-nationals.

tom, given NZD vs AUD is currently around 0.7650, well below the long term average, exchange rate actually favours shifting production from aussie to here

I doubt whether cheap labour has much to do with it. Most of the products involved would be produced fairly automated production lines.

Ah New Zealand to Australia what the Czech Republic is to Germany. The source of cheap labour.
