Kenilworth Country Foods (Cheese Factory)
Charles Street, opposite the Town Park

Established in 1950 as one of the many rural cheese factories owned by the Kraft Corporation, the Kenilworth Kraft factory manufactured bulk cheese, which was then transported to Kraft’s central factory in Victoria. Following a move to centralization in the late 1980’s Kraft decided to close the Kenilworth factory putting a large number of workers out of a job. Two employees and a local businessman came up with the idea that perhaps some of the workers could buy the factory. The rest is history, the Kraft Kenilworth cheese factory became Kenilworth Country Foods Pty Ltd and reopened for business on the 7th September 1990.
