    Industry

    FMCG Manufacturing
    The Dardalis family founded Marathon Food Industries Pty Ltd in 1963. Marathon is now the largest manufacturer of Spring Rolls and Dim Sims in Australia.We are proud of our large, modern and efficient factory because it is installed with the latest overseas technology from Europe and Japan. In some instances, machinery has been designed and built “in house” to ensure we exceed world standards of production, hygiene and sanitation.We have become the biggest for two reasons.The first reason is that the quality of our frozen foods is second to none and we are continually innovating to add to our product range.The second reason is that our delivery and service is the best in Australia.Marathon enjoys a team-based approach to quality management where there is a high level of ownership of processes and product quality by our operators. Management of the manufacturing unit is based on the implementation of international Best Practice techniques.Our Licensing status ensures that we are able to facilitate distribution to all parts of the globe.•BRC A grade certification incorporating HACCP•EU licence for meat and dairy products•Export licence to USA•Export licence to ASIA, including Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines and Thailand.•HALAL domestic and export licence•AUS Meat accreditedReduceMarathon Foods has been working hard to ensure the impact on our environment is minimised during the manufacturing process. Since 1963 Marathon has continued to source local produce and packaging wherever possible, this not only supports Australian business but also reduces the impact of transportation and hence our “carbon footprint”.ReuseMarathon Foods is well aware of its’ corporate responsibility. As a result of many years of continued drought in Australia, Marathon has looked at how we could support water conservation. We have worked with our staff to minimise water usage through more efficient cleaning methods.Here at Marathon Foods we believe in being involved in our local community, over the years Marathon Foods has sponsored many grass roots sporting teams, school fundraisers, etc, we are always happy to support where possible. Why not try Dim Sims on the BBQ for your next fundraiser along side the traditional snag and bread!Last year Marathon Foods implemented a process where 95% of product that previously went to landfill due to rejection for being ‘not perfect” is now collected and distributed to not for profit organisations, such as Foodbank. Throughout the year we donate good, safe food to this great charity, assisting to support many Australian families in need.Since 1963 Marathon Foods has continued to source locally grown produce wherever possible. Throughout the years Marathon Foods has worked closely with Aussie Farmers thus building strong relationships to ensure continuity with both quality and supply throughout the year.Our goal is to continue to produce new and innovative quality products here in Australia utilising the best locally sourced produce available.Source: this is an extract from the company’s own website.
