Project Highlights
RMR Process has assisted clients with their journey from product conceptualisation to commercialisation, in factories ranging from baby formula to pet food, and everything in between. Our experience encompasses almost every food category, and you’ll see products on every aisle at supermarkets that RMR Process has played a role in bringing to life. Our number one goal is to protect our client's capital, giving them flexibility to grow into any opportunity, as seen in some of our many success stories below, and featured regularly in in the highest circulating food manufacturing industry magazine, Food & Drink Business.
Birch & Waite
Factory for the Future
Design | Build | Install | Commission | Validate
Sydney, NSW
Birch & Waite Foods required an additional food manufacturing facility to expand their product offering and increase output while strategically planning for future growth. RMR Process was engaged to design and project manage the food factory design, build & fit-out, ultimately building a cost-effective, fully compliant and hygienic facility. The $13.5 million factory featured the Southern Hemisphere's first commercial sized shaking retort as well as Australian-first thermal processing technology and innovative sachet packaging technology.
"Peter Taitoko and his team from RMR have been very innovative in their design and project management to deliver this project in a timely manner and affordable price.” - Willi Schultheiss, Owner Director, Birch & Waite >> Read more in Food & Drink Business

Wicked Sister
New Process Facility & Expansion
Design | Build | Install | Commission | Validate
Sydney, NSW
PDP Fine Foods, manufacturers of the Wicked Sister dessert range, partnered with RMR Process to develop a brownfield site, where an existing warehouse was converted into a dairy desserts factory in Ingleburn, Sydney. RMR Process designed and managed the build, fit out and process to ensure food safety and building standards were met.
"Regulatory auditing bodies and industry professionals have praised us for the exacting standards in process, equipment and facility build with suggestions often made that the facility is one of the best in Australia." - Paul Polly, CEO, PDP Fine Foods >> Read more in Food & Drink Business
“The new production facility has enabled us to achieve volumes that exceeded our expectations due to the state-of-the-art engineering design and automated production processes. We’ve got less staff in terms of manufacturing, and what we previously produced in 24 hours at our old plant we can do in just four hours today." - Paul Polly, CEO, PDP Fine Foods >> Read more in Food & Drink Business
Dupont Danisco
High-Volume High-Care Powder Blending Facility
Design | Build | Install | Commission | Validate
Sydney, NSW
Food ingredients company Danisco, acquired by DuPont, engaged RMR Process to oversee a new high-care, high-volume powder blending facility with a small footprint, to meet their needs to expand their processing operations, not only to achieve higher volumes, but also to more easily meet food safety requirements. The project, which included the design, execution and start-up of a three-storey highly specialised, high-care powder blending facility, was constructed inside a busy operational warehouse in Erskine Park, Sydney.
“We connected with various food specialty design and construct companies, viewed all their finished works and found RMR to be closest to the high standards we were seeking to achieve.” - Glen Robson, Danisco >> Read more in Food & Drink Business
ilume
Pet food processing facility
R&D | NPD | Design | Execution | Support
Melbourne, VIC
RMR Process assisted ilume with the entire lifecycle of their Melbourne based gourmet pet food facility, from concept and product development to commercial launch.
RMR Process teamed up with a commercial construction partner to support illume’s major project at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The PBBG team, together with RMR Process, were able to manage a shifting landscape of restrictions, industry shutdowns and material supply challenges, all while keeping to our budget and timeline.” - Ridmi Rathnasoorlya, ilume
Prepared Foods
Ready Meal Facility
Design | Build | Install | Commission | Validate
Palmerston North, New Zealand
RMR Process was engaged by PFPL to design and project manage their Greenfield Site project. BPL Structural & Civil Engineers were engaged to detail the factory design and oversee Colspec Construction, the construction contractors. The nine month project was completed under budget, before time and with zero product waste.
RMR Process credits the success of this project to the integrated approach by all parties to meet the critical milestones. The tight timelines, due to the clients' seasonal production, required some creative planning early on and it showed what is possible when everyone involved takes early responsibility for start-up.
Barbell Foods
Air Dried Meat Facility
Design | Execution | Support
Canberra, ACT
RMR Process was selected to upscale Barbell Foods from a small commercial kitchen to a modern 450 square metre factory in Canberra, with a purpose-built drying room and new machinery. The move resulted in an 8-fold increase in production capacity, 60% reduction in labour costs and strategic possibilities for further expansion.
"We worked closely with RMR on the process flows, food safety compliance, red tape and the procurement and management of the numerous tradesmen required to build the factory. It was a big learning curve for us and without RMR we would've made mistakes and had an inferior factory." - Tom Hutchison, Owner Director, Barbell Foods >> Read more in Food & Drink Business
