Proper Crisps, a New Zealand crisps brand, has announced the opening of a new manufacturing plant in Yarra Valley, near Melbourne, to manufacture its crisps using Australian potatoes.

The plant in Yarra Valley gives us the opportunity to work with Australian crisp lovers to make the best crisps for them”.

The new plant will manufacture various flavours of crisps, including Marlborough Sea Salt, Cider Vinegar, Smoked Paprika, Rosemary and Thyme, Onion and Chive, Free Range Sage & Onion, and Barbeque Rub.
