Chillout an Oxford Cold Storage Publication Chillout An Oxford Cold Storage publication Message from Management Issue 17 – December 2012 _____________________________________ In this issue : As 2012 comes to a close, it is time to reflect on the year just gone. After many years of drought which resulted in lower volumes of meat, dairy & vegetables, this year has seen Message from Management a bumper season. Over the past few months, all stores have been running at capacity. RTS & Peters Ice Cream Last year we were dealing with product shortages. This year, we have dealt with Transport Manager report excessive volumes. The large volumes of storage and throughput have created a hard Achievements road to Christmas this year and everybody has done exceptionally well to get us there. ATA, VicRoads & Us The pace of change within our business has continued unabated. We have OH&S & Staff News welcomed Frews, Wagstaff, United Dairy Products and Stones Bakeries as new Beginnings, Arrivals & Returns customers this year. We have also started providing services for Warrnambool Cheese & List of Years of Service Butter and Murray Goulbourn Co-Op again. Management thanks all our staff and our clients’ staff for making the transition of this new business so smooth and efficient. In the last few years, we have had the challenge of managing the changing ordering patterns by the retailers. This has continued this year. The move away from our suppliers / manufacturers branded products has led to some extremely uneven ordering patterns. There has been a move back to locally produced product and we have had to manage large volume shifts as the major retailers change their house brand suppliers. We would now expect to see this as a regular occurrence. It has been a credit to the hard work and ingenuity of our staff that we have been able to meet these challenges and continue to deliver the high standard of service that we pride ourselves on. We have undertaken a number of major projects this year. One of the biggest was the Fonterra SAP implementation. Our IT team, in conjunction with Fonterra staff, have done an excellent job in managing the implementation and transition. Anthony Walshe and Tim Black were instrumental in ensuring the changeover in Fonterra’s IT systems resulted in minimal disruption to our operations and service delivery. Drago & Vlado Pandurevic did a fantastic job in managing the operational transition. Feedback received from transport companies complementing our performance during the transition has been excellent. Well done to all. Another major project that we have undertaken was the establishment of a dry warehouse for the storage of Fonterra milk powder. This was done extremely professionally and successfully. Craig Russell and his team have done a great job in what is essentially a new business for Oxford. There will be a number of new challenges over the next 12 months. The first will be the SAP roll out for Fonterra Ingredients. This will be closely followed by McCain’s SAP implementation. Earlier this year, Nestlé sold its Peters Ice Cream business to the Australian Food Group. After a settling-in period, we expect to see some big changes in how this business is run. One of the first changes will be the implementation of new computer systems as Peters exits the Nestlé IT environment. We will also expect to see a change in how the new management will run the business. We wish the new team all the best and will endeavour to help make the transition very successful. The biggest news for next year will is the planned construction of the extension to Freezer 13. The new extension will hold approximately 20,000 pallets which should see site capacity increase to in excess of 170,000 pallet spaces. This should help alleviate the capacity issues experienced this year. Construction is expected to commence in early 2013 (see plan on page 6). We have also had a number of financial challenges this year. The Carbon Tax was introduced in July which has led to a significant increase in our electricity bills. The increase has been so significant that we have had to pass this onto our customers in the form of levy. Electricity is one of Oxford’s largest expenses and we have been hit very hard by this new tax. Gabor Hilton and his team have continued to implement a number of projects to reduce our energy consumption. The LED lighting roll out has continued, as has the implementation of variable speed drives to run our compressors. Unfortunately we have also seen other costs continue to rise. We will need to continue to vigorously pursue cost reduction opportunities where-ever possible. Radio Terminal Systems (RTS) has been transformed under the management of Justin Anderson. The business has refocused on what it does best, which is to provide IT services with a clear operator focus. This can be seen in the results for the year. Projects are being completed on time and on budget and customer satisfaction has improved dramatically. Well done to Justin and his team. Management thank all staff for their continued efforts and loyalty. It is a credit to all our staff that Oxford is able to maintain the high levels of service we provide. We can all be confident that by maintaining this level of effort and pride, we will continue to succeed in meeting and even exceeding our clients’ expectations. On behalf of the Fleiszig & Stern families, we wish all staff and customers a safe & happy festive season and look forward to a fantastic 2013.

The 13B complex is built using the latest energy saving & operating technology. The key new feature is the implementation of mobile racking. This is a first for Oxford. The implementation gave us many challenges, which our engineering & IT teams in conjunction with our builders Vaughan Construction and racking providers & contractors Dematic, Storax, Barpro & One Stop Shelving overcame brilliantly. More details regarding the mobile racking & the other new features built into our new store can be found within this newsletter. We commenced 2013 with storage at capacity.

  • Public Competition Assessment 31 January 2005 Fonterra Co
    Public Competition Assessment 31 January 2005 Fonterra Co-operative Ltd’s proposed acquisition of National Foods Ltd The Australian Competition and Consumer ACCC (‘ACCC’) announced on 18 January 2005 that it would not intervene in the proposed acquisition by Fonterra Co-operative Ltd (‘Fonterra’) of all the shares in National Foods Ltd (‘NFL’) after accepting court-enforceable undertakings pursuant to s87B of the Trade Practices Act 1974, which require Fonterra to divest certain assets upon achieving control of NFL. The ACCC made its decision on the basis of information provided by the parties and from information arising from market inquiries. The parties The Acquirer – Fonterra Co-operative Limited (Fonterra) Fonterra is a New Zealand co-operative owned by more than 12,000 New Zealand dairy farmers and as a substantial exporter of dairy products is one of the top ten dairy companies in the world.

  • Foreign Ownership in Australian Food
    Th~ National Ubrary supplies copies of this artICle under licence from the Copyright Agency Umrted (CAL). Further reproductions of thiS artICle can only be made under ficence. FOREIGN OWNERSIDP IN AUSTRALIAN FOOD PROCESSING: THE 1995 SALE OF THE PACIFIC DUNLOP FOOD DIVISION Bill Pritchard Contemporary public debate over the Australian food industry is dominated by the argument that the local industry has the potential to become the "food bowl of Asia"; that the emergent middle classes of East and Southeast Asia provide growing export markets for value-added Australian food products. The vision of an export-oriented, value-added Australian food industry is central to the Kealing Governmenfs "Agri­ Food Strategy" (Button and Crean, 1992), and has prompted the publication of a plethora of reports and studies funded by the Federal Government's Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation. However, whilst recent growth of value-added food exports to Asian markets illustrates the emerging potential for export sales (Heilbron and Larkin 1995), this development is merely one manifestation of globalisation processes in the Australian food industry. For large parts of the Australian industry dominated by branch plants of resident transnational corporations, corporate strategy still revolves about profit capture in the highly concentrated and stable domestic market place. Events surrounding the 1995 foreign takeover ofthe Pacific Dunlop food group exemplify this process. On 3 August 1995 the Australian transnational corporation Pacific Dunlop Ltd announced its intention to off load its food division in a sale worth $1.1 billion. This decision saw the Australian ice cream and yoghurt operations of Peters and Yoplait sold to the Swiss-owned Nestle Corporation (the world's largest food company), and the Edgell Birds Eye vegetable processing and Herbert Adarns baking operations sold to PACIFIC DUN LOP 27 the J.R.
