Oreco Group

Oreco Group, an Australian-owned horticultural and garden products business invested $20.8 million into expanding its production facilities in Childers, near Bundaberg. Support from the Jobs and Regional Growth Fund accelerated the delivery of the project by three years and will allow the rapidly growing business to quadruple production, introduce new product lines and increase its logistics capability.

The new manufacturing hub will allow Oreco to diversify its product offerings with additional mulches, fertilisers, and animal feeds and bedding, and target new export markets.

The company’s expansion will create 140 new jobs for the region including machinery operators and drivers, technicians and trade workers, clerical and administration workers.
