Story summary

In August, Mundella Foods and Margaret River Dairy Company, both well-known Western Australian dairy brands, faced financial collapse and entered liquidation, leaving creditors with unpaid debts totaling millions of dollars. However, in a rescue effort, an emerging food processor called Artisanal Market acquired the brand names and assets from the collapsed companies. This deal aims to revive production, particularly focusing on yoghurt, which is expected to resume near Margaret River before the Christmas period.
