Regional and rural development minister Jacinta Allan said the popular Lipton Chai Latte product would now be produced at Unilever’s Tatura site, meaning more jobs for regional Victoria.
“With strong support from the Brumby Labor Government, Unilever Australia will now produce the Lipton Chai Latte product at its Tatura plant with a $1.2m investment,” she said. “Unilever showed its commitment to regional Victoria and Tatura by choosing to manufacture the product at its Tatura site rather than importing the product from Indonesia. This will boost Unilever’s production at the Tatura plant, with the goal being to export the product to Japan as well as to sell it domestically.
Jacinta Allan said Unilever was a major employer in the Greater Shepparton region: “It contributes directly and indirectly to the local economy by employing 300 people and manufacturing over 70,000 tonnes of finished product,” she said.
