While Menangle Sand and Soil has been in Menangle for more than 30 years, it was acquired by Benedict Industries in 1991 and is Sydney’s largest supplier of soils, specialised golf course and bowling green blends, garden mixes and top dressing sands.

Benedict Industries Managing Director Ernest Dupere said: “Our Menangle site is an integral part of our Company and an important resource given that it contains more than 70 per cent of Sydney’s approved topsoil reserves and has a proven track record of supplying consistent and quality soil products.

“We look forward to spending many more years as part of the fabric of the Menangle community.”

In the past three decades, the Company has grown significantly, Dupere says.

The celebration also marks the 20th anniversary of several staff members who have been employed at the Menangle site since its inception including local residents Lyn Wadsworth and Site Manager, Wayne Hannaford.

“We thank our staff at Menangle for their long-standing service and feel privileged that they continue to commit their skills and knowledge to our business. We’re proud to have them as part of the Benedict Industries family.”

Since its establishment in 1966, Benedict Industries has grown from a haulage contractor to one of Australia’s largest producers and resellers of extracted, recycled and landscape products. In addition to its seven quarries, it has Australia’s pre-eminent co-mingled waste recycling facility at Chipping Norton, fed by its three transfer stations, a glass re-processing facility at Moorebank, as well as a number of major property developments in the pipeline.

Benedict Industries is committed to delivering the best result to its customers, the community and the environment.
