Twenty two years ago, the second hand bottling line machine Charlie Carp were using seemed like a gem.
But as time went on, the company realised they could be meeting more customer needs with a new machine.
Charlie Carp general manager Ron Kaponica said the new machine, officially launched on Monday, improves both productivity and safety.
“This new investment will enable the team to do everything on the one machine, and adds an increased safety level for the operators,” Mr Kaponica said.
“ We will be able to double our production capacity.”
Invited to officiate the office ribbon cutting on Monday was Graham Honeyman from Mayo Hardware - distributors of Charlie Carp to the retail sector.
Mr Honeyman was also honoured to reveal the company’s packing rebrand on the day.
The popular fertiliser product is now emblazoned with the official Australian Made and Owned logo.
“The logo will be a bonus, with consumer confidence proudly signifying Charlie Carp products are Australian owned and made,” Mr Mayo said.
Charlie Carp is an innovator in liquid fish fertiliser.
Not only is it the best organically-based fertiliser on the market for your lawn and garden, it also helps to sustain a healthy environment and stabilise the natural ecosystem here in Australia.
It is made from whole European Carp - the most invasive and destructive freshwater fish in the world - which means it is also good for our river systems.
