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 company expanded its operations further in 1982
to include the Beenleigh rum distillery in Queensland.
The Tarac of today has successfully
built on these solid foundations and is now a marketer
and manufacturer of branded food & beverage ingredients
for the food, beverage and wine industries.
