Multi-brand food manufacturer with Australia's largest cold chain network
Bega Group operates 20 manufacturing sites across dairy, spreads, beverages, and nutritionals, serving Australia and export markets. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing backbone—SAP, Rockwell Automation, Siemens PLCs, SCADA systems—paired with HR/payroll (Workday, Kronos) and business intelligence (Power BI). Active hiring leans heavily toward manufacturing and finance roles, while project lists signal focus on operational efficiency: continuous improvement in accounts payable, new equipment installations, and SCADA maintenance indicate a company optimizing legacy systems rather than pursuing digital transformation.
Bega Group is a publicly listed Australian food manufacturer founded in 1899, now operating across roughly 4,000 employees at 20 sites.

The business combines consumer-facing retail brands with contract manufacturing and ingredient supply.
SAP for enterprise resource planning, Rockwell Automation and Siemens S7-1200 PLCs for plant automation, Omron Sysmac Studio and B&R Automation Studio for control logic, and custom SCADA systems for production monitoring and downtime reduction.
