Advanced Nutrition Services coming to Camperdown
CAMPERDOWN’S Enterprise Industrial Estate will see its first business finalising plans to set up in the area after successful engagement between Australian-based Advanced Nutrition Services (ANS) and FasterCapital.
ANS, a health and nutrition manufacturer of ready-to-drink beverages, powder formulations and pharmaceutical-grade supplements, announced ongoing discussions remained positive and were allowing the next step forward in their international growth roadmap.
FasterCapital, a global venture builder based in Dubai, has been working closely with ANS to refine commercial strategy, capital structuring pathways and international expansion planning.
It reflects a shared alignment around ANS’ manufacturing-led strategy, scalable product platforms and long-term vision to build a globally relevant health and nutrition business anchored in Australia.
The facility will be the first to open at Enterprise Court, which was unveiled on Depot Road in Camperdown in September 2024.
ANS founder Thomas Lashan said the relationship has added momentum at a critical stage of ANS’ evolution.
“What’s been most encouraging is the depth of strategic engagement,” he said.
“This isn’t about concepts or presentations – it’s about building something real with the right structure, partners and long-term intent.
“The discussions and progress with FasterCapital have been genuinely positive.”
ANS is advancing plans around its manufacturing capability, product development pipeline and strategic partnerships, positioning the business for its next stage of growth.
Mr Lashan said he believed ANS had found the “perfect location” in western Victoria.
“Camperdown offers not only strong agricultural foundations, but also access to deep dairy knowledge and experienced locals,” he said.
“That combination gives me real confidence that what we are building can be both innovative and sustainable.
“I’m looking forward to seeeing who will come to support us but, more importantly, who we can align with for that knowledge.
“We need that local expertise for sure.
“We want this to be a long-term contributor to the community, generating employment, supporting local business, and attracting further opportunity into the region, with the Enterprise Industrial Estate at Depot Road.”
The Faster Capital engagement provides access to global experience across venture scaling, capital pathways and international market execution – areas which align strongly with ANS’ ambitions.
FasterCapital founder Hesham Zreik noted ANS’ strong fundamentals and execution-driven mindset as key points of alignment.
“Advanced Nutrition Services represents the kind of venture we seek to support – grounded, scalable and led by a clear strategic vision,” he said.
“Part of the reason the alignment with Dubai was when I previously worked in nutrition there was a lot of enquiries coming out of the Middle East but Australia as a country weren’t necessarily focusing on the Middle East market – we were always about Asia-Pacific and China.
“I think it’ll open up not only us exporting product but also bring back that Middle East investment into the western Victorian region.
“The Middle Eastern investment pouring into the town will allow us to see how else we can utilise the rest of that industrial estate.
“There’s lots of land there – there are fully serviced blocks we’re offering to businesses who want to come to Australia, and that’s going to mean a lot of jobs, not just with ANS but with other businesses we’re going to set up in the industrial site.”
As ANS continues to progress, the company is engaging with select strategic partners, advisors and aligned investors who share its long-term view of health, manufacturing and value creation.
“We’re laying foundations properly and, for those watching closely, there’s real momentum underneath what we’re doing,” Mr Lashan said.
“We already have products ready to move forward, solutions that we believe will position the region at the forefront of next-generation nutritional manufacturing.
“Beyond the innovation itself, what excites me most is the positive impact this can have on the town and its people.
“Our facility will create skilled jobs across manufacturing, operations, quality control, warehousing, logistics, and administration.
“Over time, we see strong potential for expansion, training pathways, and collaboration with local suppliers and service providers.”
