Capilano Honey to reopen Maryborough factory

The Central Goldfields Shire says Capilano's decision to reopen a factory at Maryborough, in central Victoria, will have significant economic benefits for the town.

The facility closed down in 2012 but honey producer Capilano said it now had plans to process 30 per cent of its products in Maryborough, ABC News reports.

Mayor Wendy McIvor said Maryborough had struggled with job losses, but Capilano's move showed efforts to attract more businesses to the region were working.

"We're trying to establish a food manufacturing hub and we do whatever we can to attract these businesses and support them in developing or redeveloping as it is the case with Capilano in our community," she said.

According to the Maryborough Advertiser, the recommissioning of its facilities comes as a result of the company’s decision to acquire the assets of Victorian honey packer Yellow Pty Ltd, trading as Chandlers Honey.

It has been about three years since the Maryborough factory had staff.
