Jobs, revenues on tap for SA drinks dispensing systems manufacturer Hoshizaki Lancer Managing director of Lancer Joe Thorp a jump in revenues and jobs on the back of three new contracts has kickstarted this Beverley-based drink dispensing machine manufacturer's new financial year. Pic Mark Brake Source: News Limited ADELAIDE manufacturer Hoshizaki Lancer has kickstarted financial year celebrations with the promise of a $10 million boost to revenues and creation of 30 new jobs. The Beverley-based drinks dispensing equipment maker has signed three exclusive, national supply contracts with soft drink makers Schweppes and Coca-Cola Amatil and brewer Carlton & United Breweries (CUB). It's the first time Coca-Cola maker CCA and tonic, mineral water and lemonade maker Schweppes have moved to source their equipment from a single supplier in the country, Hoshizaki Lancer managing director Joe Thorp said. He said the company's continuous focus on innovation and research and development were the deal clinchers for the contracts which will run for three years. The deals have come at the right time when new venues like the Adelaide Oval are coming online and build on years of partnership with each of these major companies on cost-saving as well as customisation. We will make an extra 1000 drinks dispensers and related equipment and double our current output of beer equipment at Beverley. The new jobs will be divided across production at Beverley and installation services nationally. Hoshizaki Lancer's Adelaide manufacturing base and office comprise the Australasian arm of the US-based global giant Lancer Corporation. Mr Thorp said the deals will help underpin the $40 million turnover per year company's future growth during the next 12 months. These contracts are additional to the supply arrangements in place with Lion, Coopers and Asahi. Hoshizaki Lancer makes and imports beer, soft drink, frozen beverage, heat recovery and refrigeration systems along with ice machines and bar founts. In recent months, it has increased its push to build on installation and servicing to become a 'one-stop shop' for corporate customers, restaurant chains and hotel groups, besides a vast network of petrol station-based convenience outlets, including Mobil and On the Run.
