Site Tour | Tassal – Salmon and Prawn Processing Facility

Site Tour: Tassal – Salmon and Prawn Processing Facility

Get behind the scenes of one of Australia’s most fascinating seafood operations with a site tour of Tassal’s salmon and prawn processing facility in Lidcombe.

This is a rare opportunity to see first-hand how premium salmon and prawns move from raw product to retail-ready through a highly controlled, fast-paced processing environment. From food safety and cold-chain discipline to automation, workflow design, and quality assurance, the operation is both impressive and eye-opening.

If you’re curious about modern processing, operational excellence, or how high-volume food production balances efficiency with quality, this tour delivers real insight and plenty of “how do they do that?” moments.

A genuinely fascinating experience for anyone interested in manufacturing, processing, and operational performance.
