Campbell's Country Ladle Hearty Beef & Vegetable soup

Campbell's Country Ladle is a staple in the Australian canned soup market, known for its hearty, ready-to-eat varieties. This specific Hearty Beef & Vegetable soup is manufactured at the long-standing Shepparton plant in Victoria, Australia. The facility has been a hub for Campbell's production for over 60 years, sourcing many of its ingredients, including 100% Australian beef and regional vegetables, from local Goulburn Valley farmers.

While the Campbell's brand was originally founded in the United States in 1869, the ownership of its Australian and Asia-Pacific operations underwent a major shift in late 2019. The Campbell Soup Company sold its international division, including the iconic Arnott's Biscuits brand and the regional Campbell’s soup business, to the global private equity firm KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.). Today, the brand is managed locally by The Arnott's Group under a long-term licensing agreement, ensuring that these classic products continue to be produced and distributed within the region by an Australian-headquartered entity, even as the ultimate financial ownership resides with a US-based investment firm.
