Process workers at work at the Golden Circle cannery in Northgate

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Golden Circle began operations in 1947 after the construction of the main canning factory at Northgate was completed. The new facility was opened by the then Premier of Queensland, the Hon Edward Hanlon. The company was originally called 'Queensland Tropical Fruit Products', with 'Golden Circle' used as its brand name. Golden Circle was initially part of the Committee of Direction of Fruit Marketing in Queensland (COD). Under the leadership of Bernard Flewell-Smith and Percival Savage, the cannery was established as a separate business. It was split off from the COD by an amendment to the Fruit Marketing Organisation Acts. Initially, the company processed and canned pineapples and produced fruit jams. Pineapples have been at the heart of the Golden Circle brand since its earliest beginnings. It is thought that they were first grown commercially in Queensland, with their rich soils, and near-perfect growing conditions. Source: www.goldencircle.com.au/our-story/heritage#:
