Long-term partner to one of Australia’s most iconic breweries – supporting Lion XXXX with critical upgrades to production control systems and infrastructure, all delivered safely within an operational facility.

Few brands are more deeply woven into Queensland’s cultural identity than XXXX. Brewed in Milton since 1878, the XXXX Brewery is an iconic Brisbane landmark. As part of Lion’s continued investment in the site, key infrastructure systems are being progressively upgraded to ensure production resilience and operational efficiency well into the future.

PHE Group has delivered multiple electrical packages across the brewery over the years. The following case study highlights two recent engagements that reflect the complexity, coordination, and capability required to work safely within this live operational environment.
