About Company

Young William (Bill) Montague OAM founded the company in 1948 by acquiring a carting business. Since that time, the Montague name has been synonymous with fresh food suppliers, and we haven't looked back. AUG 2022: Orchard Hand Job at Montague AU.

We have spent the last 70 years developing a close-knit network of dedicated people in order to expand from fruit production to cold storage facilitation and logistics, starting from the modest beginnings as an Australian apple producer picking fresh apples in a family orchard. We will always be motivated by family, food, innovation, loyalty, and service, whether that means scouring the globe for the highest quality produce to grow in our own backyard or connecting with the newest technology, like introducing the first controlled atmosphere (CA) storage into Australia in 1967.

We are a network of enthusiastic fruit growers and logistics experts who make sure the best produce gets into your kitchens by concentrating on the juiciest and most flavorful apples and pears, stonefruit and exotic fruits as well as working with Australia's leading food manufacturers to store and distribute household brands. Our team is committed to providing Australians with fresh produce that refreshes, inspires, and fulfils by fusing the fundamentals of high-quality fruit production with global advancements.
