Fonterra’s new UHT plant

Fonterra will be investing in a new UHT milk processing plant at its Waitoa site in New Zealand, the company says. Fonterra CEO Theo Spierings says the new plant would enable the co-operative to meet growing demand for UHT products in Asia: “The new plant will enable us to increase our UHT production by 100 per cent over the next few years and will include five new UHT lines that will produce a range of products including UHT white milk and UHT cream for the foodservice sector. Products from the new plant will be bound for Asia markets and that will allow us to concentrate all our domestic UHT production – including Fonterra Milk for Schools – at Takanini in Auckland.
