Exhibiting at Thaifex - Anuga Asia 2025

Qualmac Pty Ltd, based in Bundall, Queensland, Australia, is a leading private-label and contract manufacturing company that specializes in sourcing, importing, and delivering customized food products to retail and wholesale clients across Australia and global markets. With a strong focus on Asian pantry ingredients and dry grocery staples, Qualmac enables retailers and distributors to offer high-quality house-brand products that compete with national name brands.

Core Business and Product Offerings

Qualmac operates in several key food product segments, offering:

• Private-label Grocery:

  • Products include Asian rice paper, biscuits, and snack items custom-manufactured for supermarket chains and ethnic grocers.
  • Extensive expertise in delivering Australian-market-ready versions of popular Asian pantry staples.

• Frozen & Chilled Contract Manufacturing:

  • Partnering with specialized processors to provide co-branded and house-branded frozen food solutions.

• Dry Grocery and Meal Kits:

  • Custom packaged items for supermarkets and foodservice, including sauces, condiments, and cooking bases.

These offerings are tailored for both Australian and international private-label programs, enabling clients to scale and expand SKUs without managing direct manufacturing.

Supply Chain and Manufacturing Capabilities

While Qualmac does not operate its own manufacturing plants, it works with an extensive network of certified facilities across Asia and within Australia. These partnerships are managed under Qualmac’s strict compliance and quality assurance framework, which includes:

• Vendor qualification and audit programs
