About Sensate
Australia's specialist manufacturer and supplier of flavours and colours.

Our facility

You need more than just an ingredient supplier; you need a partner whose operational foundation is built to protect your brand and ensure your success. Your product’s consistency, safety, and quality are paramount. This is why we keep investing in our Ballarat, Victoria facilities: to give you complete peace of mind with every order.

Our integrated facility is the heart of our business, with administration, technical labs, manufacturing, and distribution working in seamless coordination. This structure ensures seamless collaboration and efficiency, from initial flavour development right through to final dispatch.

BRC certified food safety

Our dedication to the highest international standards is the first step towards your peace of mind. Our commitment to the highest standards of food safety and quality control is evidenced by our facility’s BRC Food Safety Certification, a globally recognised benchmark (GFSI). This certification is your guarantee that our procedures, from the intake of raw materials to the final packaging, are carefully regulated to reduce risk and ensure product safety. It is more than just a logo on a certificate. With metal detection serving as a crucial control point to guarantee product integrity, this dedication is ingrained in our workflow.

Precision and consistency in every batch

Ingredients must be consistent from batch to batch in order to produce a product that leads the market. Our production facility is set up to provide this constant quality. To meet every need, we run a variety of specialised mixing equipment, such as:

  • Multiple high-performance powder mixers, such as the Astgatorri, Pietroberto, and Sottoriva models.
  • A versatile ribbon blender for uniform blending of diverse ingredients.
  • Dedicated liquid mixers with 500L and 1000L capacities, allowing us to scale production to your needs.

From precise dosing and blending to efficient bagging and sealing with our Jopak and Venus sealers, every step is managed to produce a consistent, high-quality product you can rely on.

Rigorous quality control in our on-site labs

Every flavour and colour has a unique technical fingerprint. Our fully equipped on-site technical labs are where we verify that every batch meets your exact specifications. Our expert team conducts a suite of crucial laboratory tests, including:

  • Moisture Content
  • Specific Gravity (SG)
  • Refractive Index (RI)
  • Flash Point

By performing these rigorous checks in-house, we guarantee that the product you receive performs exactly as you expect, safeguarding your formulation and production processes.

Our Ballarat facility in Victoria, represents our investment in the quality, safety, and reliability you need to innovate with confidence and grow your brand.
