Crumptons plan to do upgrades to PCA’s peanut intake and shelling plant at Tolga after taking possession of the facility in December.
Sonie Crumpton, from G. Crumpton & Sons, told southburnett.com.au the Tolga plant would continue “as is” but with some improvements following the purchase of the asset from Bega Group.
The peanuts would be transported to Crumptons’ Crawford plant where they would be graded, sorted, blanched and roasted.
Crumptons signed the purchase deal with Bega last Friday.
Details of the sale are commercial-in-confidence but Mr Crumpton confirmed all PCA’s assets were included in the agreement.
This included all the plant and buildings in Kingaroy and PCA’s facility on Beils Road.
At this stage, Crumptons planned to make use of PCA’s roasting and blanching plants in Kingaroy and the cold storage areas.
The shelling plant could be used for storage, as well as the Heritage-listed silos, if needed.
Crumptons will be leasing the Kingaroy assets back to Bega until they take full possession at the end of next June.
