S&W Completed Construction Phase of New Australian Packaging Facility

S&W Seed Company recently announced the completion of the construction phase of a new seed packaging facility located in Keith, South Australia, the heart of the alfalfa seed production area of Australia. 

 

The facility will allow S&W to meet the growth of the company's expanding seed production capabilities in the country, including the continued introduction of the company's elite, proprietary varieties.

 

The Company expects the facility to be operational by the end of 2015, well ahead of the 2016 harvest and shipping periods. Key to the success of the facility was a grant from the South Australian Government in support of regional development received by S&W's Australian-based subsidiary, Seed Genetics International Pty Ltd., as well as building and equipment financing provided by National Australia Bank.
