Melbourne's food and beverage culture is hard to match — from specialty coffee roasters to health food brands and fitness retailers across the suburbs. If you're a Melbourne brand looking to develop or scale a food or beverage product, we can help.

Maltra Foods started in 1997 making drinking chocolate and chai for cafés in St Kilda. Today we partner with retail and foodservice brands across Australia, developing thousands of formulations along the way.
