Since 1947, the DON name has been synonymous with ham, bacon and Smallgoods Australia-wide. This recognition stems from a passion and dedication to quality, first instilled by Australian butcher R.J. Gilbertson. Today DON is one of Australia’s largest Smallgoods manufacturers, proudly producing our award winning hams, bacon, salami, franks and continentals from our Castlemaine site in Victoria. We’re a leading regional employer and proud of our long heritage and enduring commitment to the tradition of the Smallgoods we produce. Our journey has been one from small family businesses to large ones and now as part of the GWF family, which is still largely owned by the Weston family. It’s a gritty, down to earth business with its roots in the country, in farming, in butchery and in the art of crafting food that brings out ‘the good’, by relentlessly adding value from paddock to plate. We have a commitment to making our business sustainable for the long term. We have a continuing belief that we can make this business even better by: • Creating joy for our consumers and value with our customers • Driving efficiency through the supply chain • Caring for our people, our communities and our planet. That’s why at DON, our purpose is crafting food that brings out ‘the good’
