HERRON NEWS

For almost 100 years the Sigma group of companies has been creating jobs for Australians, right across this great nation of ours.

Like almost everyone else, the global financial crisis has impacted on the way we do business.  In addition the Australian pharmaceutical industry has undergone significant structural change in recent years, including the deregulation of markets allowing the importation of cheaper products.  To ensure we're able to continue producing quality Australian made products at a fair price for Australian consumers, we've had to review our current operations.

That review recommended the consolidation of manufacturing facilities, which will result in the phased closure of our facility at Tennyson in Queensland - a process that will take twenty four months.  During that time we're committed to working with each and every employee impacted by this decision to help them find a suitable role within the greater Sigma company.

HERRON has always been an Australian owned business selling Australian made products to create jobs for Australians.  We're staying true to ourselves and the brand by doing that, even in these uncertain times - the expansion of our facility at Dandenong in Victoria will result in the creation of 96 new jobs to produce the HERRON product range.

To help us continue creating jobs here in Australia, next time you're about to buy some paracetamol, ibuprofen, vitamins or supplements please, consider helping Australia. Consider buying HERRON.
