Our Company

Over 100 years of dairy innovationand co-operative spirit is at the heart of everything we do.

We add value through partnership and collaboration, combining world class dedication, with world leading capability and technology.

Our Purpose

Our Purpose is in our Name

A tatua is a strong, durable, woven flax belt that was worn by a Maori chief or warrior to carry their most prized possessions and tools. For us it symbolises knowledge, skills, connectedness, strength and the protection of all that is good.

Traditionally handed down from one generation to the next, the tatua represents the protection and advancement of both current and future generations.
