About Refresco

Our drinks on every table. That's the Refresco vision. We’re a global business and currently produce 12 billion litres of soft drinks from 75 manufacturing plants in 12 countries and we’re only just getting started.

We’re the proud owners of three drinks manufacturing sites within Australia. Our Australia business provides a great place to work for over 500 employees, who produce private label soft drinks and fruit juices for all the leading retailers.

Whether it’s packed in cartons, bottles, or cans, we ensure that our products are made to the highest quality standards. Our products get where they need to be when they need to get there to meet the needs of our high-profile customers.

Our long-term sustainable success will be determined by the way we anticipate change as a business, the way we drive new solutions for our customers and how we meet the changing needs and requirements of society. This is never more apparent than in the drive for more sustainable and innovative ways to make a positive impact.

Our sustainable development strategy focusses on three areas where we are best positioned to drive sustainable action:

People: at the heart of what we do:

Create a safe and great place to work, unlocking the potential of our people and investing in the communities around us.

Products: sources and produce responsibly:

Provide our customers with products and solutions that are circular, transparent and that meet changing customer & consumer needs and requirements.

Processes: Environmentally sound operations:

Minimize the environmental impact of our own operations and rethink waste as a resource.

We welcome applications from individuals from all different backgrounds and are committed to promoting fair participation and equality of opportunity for all our job applicants.
