They say that if you love what you do then you’ll never work a day in your life. At Steric, our team of food innovators, food scientists, and food lovers certainly love what they do. Their passion for food is the secret sauce…behind our secret sauces…and behind the many, many other food products that we produce from our cutting-edge commercial food manufacturing facility in South West Sydney.
At Steric we pride ourselves on being a community of food innovators and food lovers who are driven to delight our customers – whether in foodservices, commercial services, or with our retail products – with great quality. With every product we make we aim for the highest quality, all made locally.
We believe that this is one of the key ingredients that has enabled us to become one of Australia’s biggest liquid food manufacturers.
“Since our founding in Sydney in 1964, our mission was to become a leading name in commercial food manufacturing.”
It also enabled us to pioneer and introduce generic grocery brands to the Australian retail market. We embraced generic brands while major food manufacturers shunned them in favour of their own brands, as we saw the potential for generic grocery brands.
50 years of food innovation
Since our founding in Sydney in 1964, our mission was to become a leading name in commercial food manufacturing in Australia and to be a staunch supporter of Australian manufacturing.
A year later we brought our first branded product to the market – High Qual Cooking salt. It wasn’t long before Steric gained a large product packaging contract with Woolworths and we were on our way in commercial food manufacturer.
Fast forward some 57 years and in 2021 Steric has grown into one of the largest Australian owned commercial food manufacturing operations in Australia, offering contract manufacturing, contract blending, private label, and food packaging services.
Today, the Steric name is synonymous with innovation in food science, food product development, and the economical and precise mass production of food products. And it’s all thanks to the passion that drives our people – all of whom are food lovers and food innovators.
