We've been dairy
farming in New Zealand
for more than a century.

From a legacy of farming families to a global investor in research
& development of high quality nutritional products.

Our expertise has grown from a legay of generations of farming families who have made New Zealand a world leader in dairy with a can-do attitude and collaborative spirit.

In that time, we’ve been a global investor in research, innovation, and product safety. We have a team of 250 focussed on innovation and our Fonterra Safety System ensures complete accountability anywhere in the world, and that our products meet the highest global standards.

We’re proud to make nutritional products of the highest quality under the Anmum brand to support childhood development of our young New Zealanders - as well as nutritional products for pregnant and nursing mothers, babies and toddlers around the world.
