Important Events for Nippy's
Overcoming Challenges
In 1999, Nippy's faced a big problem. They received oranges that were not good. This caused issues with some of their products. However, the company was strong. They were later given A$3 million in damages. This helped them recover from the problem.
Using Australian Oranges
Nippy's cares about using local ingredients. In 2011, they started using only Australian-grown oranges again. This was the first time since 2006 that all their oranges came from Australia. It shows their commitment to local farmers.
Expanding Production
In 2016, Nippy's announced exciting plans. They wanted to make their operations bigger in the Riverland region. This expansion cost about A$$967,000. The Australian government helped with a grant of A$400,000. This support made the expansion possible.
A new factory was finished in 2017. This factory cost A$10 million to build. It allowed Nippy's to make new 500 ml flavored milk bottles. Before this, they mostly made 375 ml flavored milk boxes. The new plant helped them offer more choices to customers.
Health Rating Discussions
In 2021, Nippy's talked about health rating logos. These logos show how healthy a product is. The rating for their fruit juice changed from 5 stars to 2 stars. This happened after a review by a food regulation group. Nippy's considered removing these logos from their products.
