Goulburn-based independent brewers, Tribe Breweries, has announced its exit from voluntary administration as it welcomes new owners and a new CEO, Heath Baker.
One of Australia's largest production breweries, Tribe Breweries, entered voluntary administration in late February, exiting just three months later thanks to new major shareholders, the Elsie Cameron Foundation (ECF), a charitable trust based in Tasmania.
Along with new owners, a new CEO has been appointed to manage the organisation's day-to-day corporate operations as they transition out of voluntary administration and resume normal trade.
Heath Baker, the incoming CEO, joined the team earlier this year, bringing with him 25 years of corporate drinks and brewery experience gained working for major brands, including Coca-Cola Europacific Partners as their Head of International Alcohol.
"The completion of the administration process marks a fresh start for Tribe Breweries. We are extremely proud that despite this challenge, we maintained supply to all of our customers throughout the process and now with the business on renewed footing, this enables us to provide more certainty for our employees, customers and suppliers.
"We are excited to be able to refocus on our long-term growth and efficiency plans and move forward with our team, suppliers and customers from our Goulburn Brewery," he said.
Tribe Breweries' $35m Goulburn facility produces well-loved brands, including Stockade Brewing Co., Mornington Peninsula Brewery and Wilde Gluten Free.
Partner Brewing will continue to be the driving force behind Tribe Breweries' revitalisation, focusing on creativity, innovation and supporting the local community.
ECF is a charitable trust that operates a diverse investment portfolio with the objective of driving investment opportunities that enable ongoing philanthropic donations supporting a wide range of environmental initiatives.
