Construction is officially underway at Fonterra’s new UHT cream plant at Edendale following a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday.
Fonterra employees, community representatives, and local iwi celebrated the start of a project with Hokonui Rūnanga Cultural Advisor Matu Coleman-Clark blessing the site and project team before the turning of the first sod.
The new UHT plant, which will meet growing demand across Asia is scheduled to begin production in August 2026, initially delivering over 50 million litres of UHT cream annually, with plans to more than double that capacity by 2030. Seventy new roles will be created along with those generated through the construction phase.
General Manager Operations, Lower South Island, Andrew Johns, shared his enthusiasm with the group at the event, saying that starting construction marks the first chapter in a long-planned project.
Around $150 million dollars will be invested in the expansion which is part of the Co-operative’s strategy to grow further value by expanding its Foodservice business in and beyond China and increasing production capacity for high-value products.
