History
A Tradition of Excellence
Since
its formation as a Co-operative of 14 dairy farmers in 1950, Murray Goulburn has specifically
focused on maximising returns to its supplier/shareholders and meeting the needs of its
customers.
Operating in an intensely competitive global market, Murray Goulburn, realised early on that it had to be efficient in order to survive whilst paying the best price to its suppliers for its milk in order to grow. This clear vision and commitment of its pioneering founders continues to drive the organisation today which now has more than 3,000 supplier/shareholders.
Murray Goulburn is the leading force in the Australian dairy industry and has pioneered major changes over its impressive history. It has successfully embraced new technologies and adapted many to provide innovative solutions for its increasingly discerning customer base. It has expanded and diversified to meet the evolving needs of a complex market place while maintaining its commitment to its farmer/shareholders and the Co-operative ideal.
Murray Goulburn has recognised that it must also secure its future through strategic investment in the supply chain. For Murray Goulburn, the supply chain includes the development of strategic alliances with a focus on mutually beneficial trading relationships, embracing providers of services and products as important inputs to its business. The Company has developed over time a cohesive and wholly Australian owned business unit, that is highly effective in the domestic and international marketplace. Murray Goulburn continues to harness the benefits of adapting a broad and inclusive approach to all inputs and providers of inputs in the supply chain.
