Our purpose

Committed to supporting R&D initiatives in Australia
To serve as a bridge, linking research to industry.
Through carefully curated research, we create sustainable and positive impact for industry, consumer and environment.
We aspire to support the conversion of the traditional Australian food chain paradigm into a food value chain of global significance.
We aim to connect Australian Growers, Industry and Research together to transform Australian commodities into value-added technical ingredients.

Identification & Application

Leveraging our global network of food and beverage processors to realise our goal to fill the gaps between current ingredient system deficiencies and application need.

R&D

We see the imperative of research being harnessed to deliver commercially applicable solutions.

RAD, through our affiliates, provide a conduit to industries and markets both global and domestic.

Wellbeing

Create new ingredient solutions that support consumer health.

With existing expertise in clean label technologies, and plant based proteins we focus on natural solutions that leave the consumer and planet better off.

Independence

Emphatically independent and 100% Australian owned, commercially minded and globally oriented, with a vision to support sustainable agriculture.

We truly believe that Australia can be at the forefront of new age functional food ingredients.

Our knowledge

Channelling our rich market and applications knowledge garnered through our extensive history of distribution, product development and ingredients blending via the Schwarz and Hela companies, RAD seeks to fill the deficiencies that exist between the functional application of existing raw materials and the new needs of the rapidly changing food processing landscape.

A century of achievement in the food industry.

Our promise

While RAD seeks to leverage off the history and know-how of its affiliated companies, it plans to chart an independent path – creating novel raw materials that can have a global impact – in consumer health; sustainable production; and simply the delivery of better, safer and cleaner products.
