The Arnott’s Group has recognised the contributions of its supply partners at its annual 2026 Supplier Forum in Sydney, highlighting collaboration, innovation and supply chain performance across its operations.
According to The Arnott’s Group, the forum was held at its North Strathfield headquarters and brought together key suppliers from Australia, New Zealand and other markets to discuss business performance, emerging opportunities and the company’s strategic priorities.
The event concluded with the 2026 Supplier Awards, which recognised suppliers for their performance, innovation and partnership over the past year.
Linfox received the Innovation & Technology Award, while Amcor was recognised with the Value Creation Award. Allied Pinnacle received the Sustainable Supply Chain Award, Tasty One won the Quality Culture Award, and Cargill was named Supplier of the Year.
The Arnott’s Group Chief Procurement Officer Tom Vicars said supplier partnerships had played an important role in the company’s operations.
“Our suppliers are critical partners in our success. Their expertise, innovation and commitment help us improve performance, bring new ideas to life and continue delivering the products consumers know and love,” Vicars said.
“The Supplier Forum is an opportunity to recognise those contributions, celebrate our shared achievements and strengthen the relationships that will help us grow into the future.”
Vicars said collaboration was increasingly important as businesses navigate a complex operating environment.
“In an increasingly complex operating environment, genuine collaboration is essential to building a supply chain that is resilient, sustainable and responsive to the needs of our customers and consumers now and into the future,” he said.
In place of its annual Gala, The Arnott’s Group also held a Supplier Dinner supporting the Arnott’s Foundation and its charity partner, Camp Quality.
The company said more than $85,000 was raised through the event, which it said was enough to help more than 56 families access Camp Quality’s Family Retreat Program for children impacted by cancer and their families.
