Expansion lead by Quality
After the departure of the restaurants, Mexex ventured into catering at venues such as Sydney Showground, Melbourne Cricket Ground and Adelaide Showground. In 1995, due to the increased demand for cheese sauces and salsas, it gave Mexex the ability to move to a larger premise in Dudley Park. Over the next decade, Mexex launched cheese sauces and Nachos to Go into foodservice and retail both domestically and abroad and won a number of prestigious awards in the areas of quality and innovation.
