Great Company

About Us

Lion Nathan National Foods brings together two great companies – Lion Nathan, a leader in the production, distribution and marketing of alcoholic beverages in Australia and New Zealand, and National Foods, one of Australasia’s largest food and beverage groups. The company was formed in October 2009, when Kirin Holdings Company Limited completed its purchase of Lion Nathan and merged the business with National Foods – which it has owned since 2007.

Today, Lion Nathan National Foods employs close to 8,000 people across Australia and New Zealand and boasts a portfolio of market-leading, household-name brands in beer, wine, spirits, milk, fresh dairy foods, juice, cheese and soy beverages. In addition to direct employment, we make a significant contribution to the Australian and New Zealand economies. We are one of the region’s largest purchasers of agricultural goods and an integral component of the retail, hospitality and tourism industries.

Our Commitment

We are committed to doing the right thing for the long term by investing in our core strategic assets – our people, our brands, and our production facilities – and in the sustainability of our business. We aim to play a positive role in the communities in which we operate by maintaining a culture of environmental and social sustainability.
