Fonterra’s strength is in the collective | Te Mātāpuna toa takitini

About us | He kupu mō moto
Established in 1902, Maungaturoto is one of our oldest sites. With four plants, the site processes around 247 million litres of milk a year and processes raw milk into a range of milk powders, whey powders and rennet casein. Our Whey powder is used as a source of protein in nutritional powders, beverages and cultured products and the Casein is used for process cheese production. These products are exported to international markets worldwide.
