Bulla is a multinational company as it operates over several stores in Australia and exports to more than 20 countries around the world and uses highly sophisticated technology with large product output. Many of their processes used are mechanised. Bulla has 160 stock keeping units, where 99% are manufactured in a seven day cycle.
