We are always looking at how we can do things better. Whether it's on the farm or during the manufacturing process, our innovation is what gives us the edge.
Manufacturing Innovation
Increasing manufacturing efficiency while driving down operating costs is the challenge for our team of innovators working in Fonterra’s Manufacturing business.
High Pressure Processing
Fonterra Ingredients’ High Pressure Processing (HPP) innovation team has turned the forceful water pressures normally used as a “blunt” food preservation tool into a high precision instrument for working with dairy products.
Heat Recovery Loop
Our award-winning heat recovery loop project is just one example of the leading role we are taking in our efforts towards operating in ways that are energy-efficient.
Kiwi ingenuity at its best
Our production capabilities and our farmer suppliers’ on-farm operations are recognised as being world-leading.
Highly Automated Manufacturing
The development and implementation of innovative technology to achieve cost, time and waste savings across our manufacturing business is a key priority for Fonterra.
Milk Concentration Technology
3,000 fewer tanker movements, significant cost-savings and environmental benefits are the results of the world-first milk concentration technology employed at our Tua Marina site in the South Island of New Zealand.
