- A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY The Business
• Cummins Milling is one of the oldest operating flour mills in Australia. A family-owned mill, it is the only producer in Australia to have both flour and stockfeed production co-located, giving it both environmental and operational advantages. The Principal of the business, Bill Butterfield is keen to wind down and seek retirement, the Cummins Mill represents an excellent opportunity for new owners to continue the legacy of the present owners and continue to develop and expand the processing and manufacturing facility as well as seek and deliver the premium products into potential new markets. The Cummins Mill is the only Australian Mill to fortify flour through a batch mixing process, so their ingredients are thoroughly mixed with no variations between bags. Operations
