The company began operations in February 1918, canning pears, peaches and nectarines under the brand name of SPC.

In 2012, SPCA disposed $100 million of fruit bought under contract because it could not be sold, blaming it on "plummeting" local and export orders.

[13] In October 2013, SPCA sought A$50 million financial assistance from the Federal and Victorian governments to modernise its operation.

[14] In early 2014, SPCA sought $25 million of Federal government assistance as part of a plan to upgrade the Shepparton cannery which was rejected.

Shepparton Partners Collective was a joint venture between Perma Funds Management, a boutique investment house, and The Eights, a private equity firm.

[18] As part of the turnaround strategy, the business sold the IXL and Taylors brands with the Kyabram factory in 2019 to a group of farmers and growers in the Goulburn Valley.

[21] SPC defeated Numurkah in the 1948 Central Goulburn Valley Football League's seconds grand final.
