Fonterra is set to expand its Studholme site in the South Island to create a hub for high value proteins. Its proteins have enhanced functionality and are designed to perform well in premium product applications such as medical and high-protein sports nutrition.

Miles Hurrell, CEO, Fonterra, said, “The investment of around $75 million is part of the Co-op’s strategy to grow value through its world-leading Ingredients business by partnering with customers who value Fonterra’s unique offering. We have valuable expertise in dairy science and innovation, making us leaders in the manufacture of dairy proteins and other advanced ingredient solutions. The expansion of our Studholme site will allow us to increase production of this high-value product and ultimately grow returns to farmers.”

Richard Allen, president global markets ingredients, Fonterra, said, “The Co-op’s dairy ingredients are highly sought after by customers globally. We see significant opportunities in the global high protein dairy category, which is projected to grow by close to $10 billion over the next four years, at an annualised growth rate of 7% per annum. Increasing our manufacturing capacity for functional proteins will enable us to continue to strengthen our offerings with existing customers as well as attract new business.”

Site works at Studholme will begin next month with the first product due to come off the line in 2026. In addition to producing advanced proteins, the site will continue to support the South Island’s milk processing as it has done since Fonterra acquired the site in 2012.

Richard Allen says the project team reviewed Fonterra’s world-wide asset network before deciding on the Studholme site. He said, “It’s pleasing to see we are able to expand an existing site to produce these high value ingredients. The Studholme site was chosen as it is the right size, relatively new and had been built with future expansion in mind. It makes sense economically and we’re confident in the longevity of the site to supply these ingredients for the long term.”
