Japanese-owned dairy products group Lion will officially open its expanded specialty cheese plant in the Tasmanian city of Burnie on 20 May 2015. The four-year project cost $A150m, and Lion CEO Stuart Irvine says it will allow the group to tap into the growing Asian market for premium dairy products. He has also flagged a greater push into the domestic market, noting that just 25 per cent of Australian households consume specialty cheeses.
