Sanitarium, proudly 100% Australian owned, has developed a reputation for manufacturing quality health and vegetarian food products - a position that has been rewarded by the strong consumer trust we enjoy today.
Sanitarium's enviable reputation within the food industry is based on our enthusiastic engagement of research, product development, nutrition education and community responsibility.
Through our continued commitment to nutrition education, consumer consultation and product development, Sanitarium has brought to the market an array of cereals and innovative foods including soymilks, spreads, easy-cooking vegetarian meals, nuts and dried foods, which provide a more enlightened view of our daily dietary requirements.
The most recognised brand in the Sanitarium stable is undoubtedly Weet-Bix®, which has remained Australia's most popular breakfast cereal for over 30 years, in a market category worth more than A$745 million per annum. In 1986, Sanitarium introduced So Good®, a soymilk, to the market. Today So Good is Australia's favourite soymilk in a category worth A$115 million per annum. Conscious, too, of the demands of today's busy lifestyles, Sanitarium launched the Up & Go® liquid breakfast range in 1998.
At Sanitarium's food research and development facility, we create new, easier and healthier ways to meet your demand for healthy, tasty food. In terms of food technology and equipment, we're considered a leader in our field. The (Sanitarium Development and Innovation) (SDI) provides professional, scientific and engineering support in a variety of ways including packaging specification, product analysis and machine engineering.
Sanitarium is unique among the many food manufacturers in Australia for our emphasis on nutrition and health education. The Sanitarium Nutrition Service provides a free service to consumers and health professionals providing accurate, easy to understand nutrition facts and information on all aspects of healthy eating, cooking and diets.
Caring about the community is a core value of Sanitarium and our employees. The company regularly donates product to the community, or on request from relief agencies, for disaster relief in Australia and the South Pacific. This is done in addition to Sanitarium's ongoing financial support for the community and humanitarian aid work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church within Australia.
Today, Sanitarium employs approximately 1700 people across Australia and New Zealand and has an annual turnover of around A$300 million. Sanitarium's Cooranbong manufacturing site, in New South Wales, is one of the largest cereal production plants in the Southern Hemisphere. Currently there are twelve Sanitarium sites across Australia and New Zealand including production, warehouses, sales and distribution facilities. Sanitarium has almost 100 years experience in exporting to over 30 countries worldwide - including the United Kingdom, Asia, the United States and the South Pacific.
