Fonterra’s Whareroa plant has wrapped up a successful season with recording-breaking cheese production and being named the co-operative’s best large site.
The company’s annual Best Large Site Award recognises excellence across all areas of operations.
Fonterra Whareroa, near Hāwera, had not only significantly lifted its quality standards and customer engagement but also started leading the way in building talent capability while maintaining a sharp focus on sustainability.
Site operations manager Hayden Baylis said it was a huge recognition for the team’s hard work.
Whareroa site makes a range of milk powders, various cheeses, protein powders, butter and other products.

“I am incredibly proud of our team’s achievements and the strong culture we’ve cultivated together. It’s our dedication, unity and shared values that drive us forward and make us truly exceptional,” he said.
The Whareroa cheese plant produced more than 95,000 metric tonnes this season, which was exported across North and Southeast Asia markets in countries such as China, Japan and Korea.
The plant also won the Japan Cheese Award for the strong performance of its cheese plants, making the site the second largest supply factory to the Japanese market.
Fonterra’s Collingwood St site in Eltham also took home two awards, the Best Specialty Site Award and Customer Cup, while Kapuni was the runner-up for Best Specialty Site.
Dubbed the “Oscars of Manufacturing” the Best Site Cup awards are held annually in Auckland to celebrate the successes of Fonterra’s manufacturing sites across the country.
