Top 100: Correction 

Despite our best efforts, in a list of size, scale, and content as our Top 100 companies report sometimes, we get it wrong. 

This year, an incorrect figure was supplied for Vittoria Food & Beverage’s FY22 revenue by our data partner IBISWorld, which meant the company’s FY23 revenue looked like it fell 17.5 per cent. 

In fact, when the correct figure was used (FY22 $213 million), Vittoria registered a 21 per cent rise in revenue to FY23 $258 million. 

That is quite a different story. Vittoria MD Rolando Schirato said the company’s impressive year was driven largely by an increase in its retail coffee sales, instant coffee, tea, its café business, and overall improvement in food service.

Vittoria’s ranking in the 2023 Top 100 remains unchanged. The numerical listing reflects FY23 for all companies.

Food & Drink Business regrets the error. 

Packaging News

In a collaborative effort, Kimberly-Clark Australia and Woolworths have successfully completed a packaging trial aimed at eliminating the use of secondary plastic packaging for Viva paper towels. The initiative, now set to become standard practice, is projected to save 15 tonnes of plastic annually.

John Cerini has stepped down as CEO of Pro-Pac, with Ian Shannon, who was chief operating officer of the company, taking over the role, and becoming managing director.

Sustainable packaging achievements were recognised at the APCO Annual Awards in Sydney last night. The event celebrated organisations, and individuals, driving change towards the 2025 National Packaging Targets and beyond. PKN was there.
