About Us
Born in Melbourne, 1990.
While our business philosophy has remained consistent over the past three decades, in 2023, our team collaboratively defined our true purpose in the food industry. Whilst we previously comprehended the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of our operations, we have now grasped the ‘why’ behind what we do at PFA. We believe it is our ‘why’ which sets us apart from the rest.
“We are dedicated to producing authentic and natural food, working alongside agriculturists and culinary visionaries to drive innovation.”

A Partnership Driven by Shared Values, Vision, and Passion for Agriculture
At Prestige Foods Australia, the partnership between Mike Murray and Edward Currenti is the cornerstone of our success.
With Mike’s vision as the Founder and Managing Director, combined with Edward’s operational expertise and strategic leadership as general manager, they’ve built a thriving business grounded in innovation, quality, and integrity.
Beyond the boardroom, their shared passion for agriculture, people and farming shapes PFA’s approach to sourcing the finest ingredients and respecting the origins of food. Together, they lead PFA with a commitment to tradition, continuous improvement, and the pursuit of new opportunities, ensuring every product reflects their love for the land and excellence in every bite.
In 2020, PFA celebrated thirty years of business and manufacturing at our Braeside facility. From modest beginnings as a joint venture with Japanese partners, we have grown into one of Australia’s premier food manufacturers.
In the early 80’s and early 90’s, Ross Pierce and Mike Murray established two companies, known as International Food Processing and Prestige Foods Manufacturing. Their entrepreneurial vision and strong foundations laid the groundwork for what would become a leading name in Australian food manufacturing.
