Tarac Technologies was established in 1929 by ex-CSIRO scientist
Alfred Allen at his home in the heartland of the Australian
Wine Industry - the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
At first, Mr Allen focused his attention
to the development processes used to recover grape alcohol,
grape seed oil and tartrates from winery by-products.
Over the years Tarac quickly established
its presence both domestically and internationally and
opened additional distillation plants to service other
emerging wine regions -
• Berri, South Australia in 1936
• Griffith, New South Wales in 1971.
The Tarac of today has successfully
built on these solid foundations and is now a marketer
and remains a manufacturer of quality value adding ingredients, supplying the global wine, and food and beverage industries.
