Fonterra has made the decision to close its Dennington site in South West Victoria, with the site to cease operations by the end of November 2019.

37,000 litres – enough to fill 148,000 glasses of milk. That’s how much milk one of Fonterra’s new ‘Truck and Dog’ tankers can hold.

Fonterra Australia’s largest site is set to get bigger thanks to a $13.5 million investment to boost butter production.

Fonterra Australia’s flagship Stanhope cheese plant will be a key beneficiary from investments of more than $165 million which the company has announced to boost capacity and increase efficiencies across each of its seven sites.

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.
