Bickford’s beverages are manufactured in a purpose built, state of the art manufacturing facility in Adelaide, South Australia. The head office houses a number of plant lines, warehousing and offices, all HACCP accredited.

Pure production

Bickford’s is one of few bottling companies in the world to have invested in Sterile Filtration technologies and doing so has enabled us to produce a product free of preservatives and the need for pasteurising. For this reason, many of our products are considered ‘natural’.

A vital ingredient in all Bickford’s products is water, so naturally we invested in a sophisticated water treatment plant which uses reverse osmosis technology. Before becoming an ingredient in our products, water passes through a sand filter, carbon filters and membrane filters to remove the impurities, leaving a final water product which can be described and labeled as ‘pure water’.

Bottling efficiency

Bickford’s has a flexible 5 line production system, capable of filling various bottle types at high speed and efficiency.

A key component of the new plant is the investment of a PET facility which in conjunction with the filling line can blow, decorate, fill and pack still and hot fill PET bottles in line.

Flexibility

This has resulted in greater flexibility and capacity to support closely aligned retail partners and meet demands and deadlines of stockist both nationally and internationally. The design of this new facility is based on versatility in terms of product type and packaging format. Capability extends from 170ml glass to 5 litre HDPE with product viscosity ranging from water to iced coffee, cordials and juices.
