Bosisto's, an Australian enterprise with a 160-year legacy, has unveiled a new, modern distillery near Wedderburn, central Victoria. This facility is poised to significantly increase the company's eucalyptus oil production, with claims it will triple output. The expansion signifies a continued investment in local oil production, a hallmark of the Abbott family's stewardship of eucalyptus plantations, now spanning nearly 10,000 acres.
The new plant's operational capacity is presented as a leap forward in efficiency for the company, which has historically championed its product as Australia's first indigenous export. Bosisto's eucalyptus oil, long marketed for its purported antiseptic qualities and uses ranging from cough relief to aiding digestion, has seen global distribution for over a century. The company's historical narrative emphasizes its position as a leader in the industry, with its "Parrot Brand" being an iconic Australian product.

Bosisto's origins trace back to the Dandenong Creek area, where the first distillation 'still' was established to bottle what was then advertised as a golden oil with remarkable powers. This early venture laid the groundwork for a brand that has maintained a presence in the market for generations, focusing on the natural remedy aspects of eucalyptus oil. The company's ongoing commitment to its Australian roots and local cultivation underscores its long-term strategy.
