Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd has today announced the internal appointment of two new management team members to help lead the Co-op’s step-change in strategic direction and announced an executive team member moving into a new role.

Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd has today announced a step-change in its strategic direction, as it commits to deepening its position as a world-leading provider of high-value, innovative dairy ingredients.

Fonterra is integrating two important parts of its business, Fonterra Brands New Zealand (FBNZ) and Fonterra Australia. Together, this part of our business will be known as Fonterra Oceania.  

As Australia’s number one foodservice dairy provider, Fonterra prides itself on the quality of its extensive range of dairy foods, and is pleased to be bringing its cheese back to Australian production.

Fonterra Australia is matching its push to secure additional milk volumes with more than AU$165 million in capital expenditure in this financial year at key sites in Victoria and Tasmania in a move to increase capacity and meet unique demand opportunities for dairy.

Fonterra today celebrated the official opening of its new state-of-the-art cheese plant at Stanhope, marking the return of full production to the site two and a half years after fire destroyed the previous plant.

Mozzarella made at Fonterra’s Stanhope cheese plant in Northern Victoria will soon be topping pizzas at restaurants in China, as Fonterra’s Australian business moves to take a bigger slice of pizza’s popularity in the Asian nation.

Fonterra’s Western Star has scooped its third major industry award for the year, picking up a Gold and Silver medal at the 2016 Dairy Industry Association of Australia (DIAA) Queensland Dairy Product Competition.

Success continues to spread for one of Fonterra’s leading brands.
