Australian Speciality Cheese Manufacturer - Energy Cost Optimisation
A leading Australian specialty cheese manufacturer was experiencing rapid growth, with demand increasing across both domestic and international markets. However, rising energy costs were impacting operational efficiency and competitiveness.
