MLA for Bicton Lisa O’Malley, D’Orsogna board member Eugene D’Orsogna, WA Agriculture and Food Minister Jackie Jarvis and D’Orsogna board members and executive celebrate at D’Orsogna’s Palmyra, WA headquarters after the announcement by Minister Jarvis of the Grant.

D’Orsogna has welcomed a $1 million WA Government Value Added Investment Grant to help expand and upgrade salami and fresh meat production facilities at its Palmyra, WA headquarters.

D’Orsogna Managing Director Jason Craig said the grant, announced December 9 at Palmyra by WA Agriculture and Food Minister Jackie Jarvis, will be co-invested in establishing automated manufacturing technologies to increase capacity and efficiencies in the production of cooked sausages, including Cabanossi, Tasty Sticks and fermented salami products.

In addition, the boning room will be upgraded with lay-out changes to increase meat volume throughput and a packing area transformed with new equipment for more efficient transfer of fresh meat into retail-ready packaging.
