Fonterra employs 22,000 people around the globe and has been at the forefront of New Zealand industry for more than 50 years, as part of a category that contributes NZD 8 billion ($5.5 billion) back into rural communities and provincial towns.

It operates production plants across New Zealand as well as a research and development centre called FRDC in Palmerston North and a modern headquarters in Auckland.
