A fresh alternative for New Zealand’s dairy farmers

ofi is a global leader in providing sustainable, natural, value-added food and beverage ingredients and solutions to thousands of customers worldwide. We are moving forward with exciting plans to directly invest in our own dairy processing facility at Tokoroa, New Zealand.

ofi operates in 48 countries and connects millions of farmer producers to over 8,000 customers globally.

ofi has enjoyed a long and successful history in New Zealand, through our previous investment in Open Country Dairy. There is strong and growing demand from our global customers for high quality, New Zealand-made dairy products.

We are one of the world’s top suppliers of dairy ingredients. Our Tokoroa plant will become part of a global network that spans 20 major milk consumption markets, such as South-East Asia, China, the Middle East, and Africa.

Growing in the heart of South Waikato

The first stage of the new investment will be a spray dryer facility, capable of producing high-value milk powder ingredient products. Additional facilities will be added over time to expand a product range targeting key customer applications in desserts, bakery, beverages, and confectionery categories.

We are excited to take this important step, and look forward to making a strong, sustainable contribution to Tokoroa and the New Zealand dairy industry.
