New laboratory space will boost the capacity of AEGIC’s barley, oat and wheat technical teams.
Construction has commenced on the fit out of new labs in Welshpool, which will be home to AEGIC’s barley and oats research programs. The facilities are co-located with Barrett Burston Malting at that company’s Welshpool plant and will be independently managed by AEGIC.
Separately, AEGIC’s wheat technical teams are busy setting up new lab space at a location in Cockburn.
AEGIC transitioned its WA-based technical functions to alternative locations following the restriction of access to its former South Perth location in June 2024.
AEGIC is working closely with DPIRD, Grains Australia and other industry stakeholders to identify long-term alternative arrangements for all its WA-based technical functions.
