Our Operations
In the Philippines, our total operations are 157-employee strong with a head office in Quezon City and a central warehouse in Pasig City. Our Cyber One Tower head office in Quezon City employs around 60 employees, 11 in the warehouse and all others are based in the field, across the country.
Over 80 different products are available locally, 25 of which are locally manufactured by four dedicated third party manufacturers and co-packers who work with the company in order to fulfil the demand for our products.
Our Foodservice business, supplying to hotels, restaurants, caterers, industrial and quick serve accounts, has been continuously growing as Fonterra becomes the product of choice because of its value and quality. Our products are used nationwide by more than 680 accounts in over 2350 outlets and counting. The chilled business has now expanded into cheeses and creams, with Anchor Butter still as its hero product.
Partnering with 28 distributors and directly servicing 27 key customers in the retail channel, we work with over 500,000 outlets throughout the country to ensure only the freshest and highest quality products are delivered to consumers.
To date, Fonterra continues its tradition of responsible retail, making a real difference in the Filipino people’s quality of life as an expert in dairy.
Our commitment to the community
Community engagement is very important to Fonterra in the Philippines. Across three of our key brands, we have initiated programmes designed to improve the life of the Filipino consumer.
We support Filipino customers with free nutrition counselling programmes through the Anchor Nutrition Clinic to provide insights to mothers on their children’s nutritional health, muscles, bones and fat make-up. This is how Anchor continues its goal of providing “proven nutrition” to consumers.
The Anmum team works to provide extensive information on maternal and pediatric health to doctors and consumers alike. Since its launch in 1997, Anmum continues to reign supreme in the Philippines’ maternal milk category with its position as “My Maternal Partner”.
For adults, our Anlene brand’s active bone scanning programme has scanned the bones of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos each year, free of charge, and this continues to be an important activity for the company in helping communities across the Philippines.
Employment opportunities
Our Philippine office offers a range of employment opportunities from distribution, marketing, manufacturing services to production capacities. The nature of work promises to be diverse and challenging to bring every individual’s best qualities to the fore.
Our employees are a testament to our working culture, even having gone on to succeed in their careers internationally by working in other regional markets such as Singapore and New Zealand.
