Edition 10
In 2022 Manildra Group is celebrating its 70th birthday
with the rich history of our family-owned Australian
business, and all that we are proud of, be it our people,
farming families or the communities who support us.
Our long history stretches back to 1952, when our
first flour mill was purchased in the historical
NSW township of Manildra. After seven decades,
Manildra Group has grown to become a world-leading
manufacturer – expanding and diversifying year-on-year.
As we reflect on these 70 years of business, operated by
three generations of our family, we remain ever grateful
for the generous support, loyalty and kindness of our
employees, business partners, suppliers, customers,
and the Bomaderry community.
