About us
Established in 1997, Probiotec Limited has quickly achieved a reputation for innovation, customer service and rapid response to market opportunities.
COMPANY PROFILE
PROBIOTEC’S GROWTH HAS BEEN FUELLED BY STRONG ORGANIC GROWTH AND STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS ALONG WITH RELATIONSHIPS WITH GLOBAL MARKET LEADERS THAT WANT TO CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY THAT MAINTAINS HIGH LEVELS OF QUALITY AND INNOVATION.
Probiotec is proudly Australian owned and operated, providing hundreds of Australian jobs and supporting the Australian economy. Australia has the highest standards of pharmaceutical and food manufacturing in the world. This coupled with a clean, green environmental footprint means that Australia is a destination for products and services where high quality is a must..
Probiotec maintains the highest quality and safety standards throughout every stage of the production process. Quality and compliance are critically important aspects of Probiotec’s culture.
Probiotec is committed to supporting the environment and the community in which it operates within. This is achieved via improvements in packaging design, production processes as well as facilitating the re-use and recycling of used packaging materials.
What separates Probiotec from other trusted contract manufacturers and packers is that we invest heavily in Research and Development, equip our production facilities with the latest new technologies, employ chemists and microbiologists of the highest calibre and maintain Quality Assurance standards that are second to none.
We also have an intimate understanding of the process and dynamics of developing formulations (and brands) for the retail market that deliver margins that optimise return-on-investment.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Environmental activities
Probiotec is committed to supporting the environment and the community in which it operates within.
The Australian Packaging Covenant (formerly known as the National Packaging Covenant) was formed to minimise environmental impact from the disposal of used packaging. This is achieved via improvement in packaging design, production processes and facilitating the re-use and recycling of used packaging materials.
As part of an ongoing commitment to protecting the environment, Probiotec continues to be a signatory of the Australian Packaging Covenant.
Sustainable Packaging Guidelines are being adopted for our existing and new products, to minimise the environmental impact of packaging materials, where possible.
The company utilises recycling collection points within our facilities, to reduce the impact on landfill. Cardboard, white paper and commingle are being recycled.
