My Muscle Chef has opened a 10,000 square metre, $55 million manufacturing and logistics facility in Yennora, Western Sydney.
The new facility will see a 20 per cent increase in staff, with the capacity for a 600-strong workforce spanning chefs, food technology engineers and technicians, quality assurance, alongside operations, finance, product development, marketing, and software engineering.
Tushar Menon, CEO of My Muscle Chef, said they are proud of the evolution of My Muscle Chef over the past nine years, with the facility now capable of producing and supplying over one million meals to Australians each week.
“I’m particularly proud that we are continuing to invest in Western Sydney, where I grew up and where I still call home, providing a wide variety of employment opportunities and career paths to the community, and boosting the local economy.”
The company’s investment will see My Muscle Chef double its current capacity to meet growing consumer demand, from 500,000 meals every week to over 1.2 million per week.
David Elliot, Minister for Transport and Veteran Affairs, and Minister for Western Sydney, said it is great to see this continued investment in Western Sydney by My Muscle Chef, and is very excited by the job opportunities that are now available.
“This a great step in the right direction towards our commitment to the Western Sydney City deal which looks to create 200,000 jobs and deliver the 30-minute city through convenient public transport options.”
The My Muscle Chef product range spans fresh meals, snacks and drinks, merging convenience with nutritionally designed menus that are packed full of flavours from around the world, catering to ‘every body and every goal’.
Nick Love, Chief Customer Officer at My Muscle Chef, said despite evolving over the years, the brand has never lost sight of the connection to its customers, which is a major driver of the company’s overall success.
“Customer loyalty is incredibly important to us, and we are constantly diversifying our product offering to ensure we are meeting their needs. Whether they’re looking to fuel before a workout, provide a nutritional meal for their families, or to lose weight, our new facility at Yennora enables us to cater to the growing demand for fresh, high protein, healthy meals, snacks, and drinks.”
