Macquarie Oil Company started in 2005 with the purchase of an expeller, some separation equipment and liquid storage equipment. The company began expelling canola seed to produce meal and oil for stock feed. The company has experienced a lot of growth and currently runs three expellers and has recently purchased a biodiesel plant. The annual capacity of the plant is now around 22 000 tons of oilseed per year. The main oilseed currently expelled is poppy seed. All expelling is by cold pressing and is single pressed only.
