In October, Yakult Australia marked a major milestone – the factory has now welcomed 200,000 attendees!
To mark the occasion, our team hosted an extra special factory tour filled with fun and festivity. The factory was decorated with blue and red streamers, balloons, and a themed photo booth – giving guests plenty of fun photo moments to capture our 200,000-visitor celebration. It was a wonderful way to celebrate this achievement and share the joy with our visitors!
Our purpose-built factory located in Victoria has been operating since 1994. To this day, this is the only Yakult Factory in Oceania, meaning this one factory produces enough Yakult to supply Australia and New Zealand!
During guided tours at our Dandenong South factory, visitors learn about the history of Yakult, gain insights into our business, and participate in a tasting of Yakult Original or Yakult LIGHT.
This special tour was made even more memorable with a surprise visit from Yakult Man! Adding to the excitement, one of Yakult Australia’s Directors had the honour of gifting each family a special gift to commemorate the milestone.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of our staff and, most importantly, the support of our community and visitors.

As one of the few working factories in Melbourne open to visitors, we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful community we’ve built. This milestone includes everyone who has joined us on a tour – from school groups, Mandarin-speaking visitors, health professionals and community members. Thank you for helping us reach this incredible achievement, and we look forward to celebrating many more special moments with you!
