About Us

We are the Bega Group and we’re proudly Australian-owned. For over a century, we’ve been passionate makers and innovators of food and today, we produce foods, beverages, and ingredients that millions of people use daily. From our humble beginnings in the Bega Valley, we’ve grown into a global business with our team based throughout Australia and abroad. We remain deeply connected to the land and the communities that have helped us become one of Australia’s largest food companies.

Since 2008, we have transformed from a dairy co-operative with a strong regional cheese brand into a diversified, branded food and beverage business. This transition from a commodity-led to a brand-led company is positioning Bega for higher and more consistent earnings. We’re committed to strengthening and growing as a branded food products company, creating value for our customers, consumers, suppliers, and investors, and advancing us towards our vision of becoming The Great Australian Food Company.

Striving for greatness

We’re dedicated to shaping the future of the Australian food industry. Our commitment to supporting local agriculture means we’re nurturing greatness right from the source. We take pride in producing sustainable, nutritious foods in all our categories.

Becoming The Great Australian Food Company is the vision we are striving towards. We care deeply about our people and ensure we grow their talent and opportunities as we grow. We define greatness by our ‘Greatness Pillars’—Great Food, Great People, Great Aspirations, and Greater Good and this helps guide us in taking meaningful action every day, working together to build a brighter tomorrow.

Our family of brands

We have a diversified portfolio of leading brands with strong market positions. Our top eight brands contribute over 74% of our branded revenue, encompassing essential consumer items and discretionary purchases, fuelling everything from your morning coffee to the perfect after-school snack.

We have transformed into a brand-led business, building beyond our Bega brand¹ into a portfolio of iconic brands with enduring consumer appeal, including Vegemite, Dairy Farmers, Daily Juice, Farmers Union, Big M, Dare, Pura, Masters, The Juice Brothers, Berri and Bega Peanut Butter. Like us, several of these brands are over 100 years young, enjoyed by generations and continuing to thrive.

¹The Bega brand is licenced to Fonterra Brands (Australia) in certain cheese product types such as cheddar, stringers and butter.
