The Gold Coast company will install new equipment and bring manufacturing back in-house, upskilling 42 employees.
MooGoo has secured a $1.3 million Queensland government grant. The grant will bring more production in-house at its Gold Coast facility.
The funding comes through Queensland's Transforming Queensland Manufacturing Grants Program. The funding will let the skincare maker install new equipment.

CEO Melody Livingstone said the grant lets the company strengthen its commitment to making products locally. Better control over quality and supply chains will help MooGoo.
