Fonterra Purchases Nestle Australia Business

News EditorIndustry News, International

Fonterra, based in New Zealand, has purchased the Nestle Australia based yogurt and dairy dessert business. The agreement will be effective September 1.

Fonterra Australia New Zealand managing director John Doumani said the agreement represented a significant step towards achieving the company’s growth strategy in Australia.

“We currently do not have a national presence in Australia’s yoghurt and dairy dessert sector,” he said.

“By acquiring Nestle’s yoghurt and dairy dessert business, it provides us with a national position and complements our existing portfolio where we hold leading national positions in cheese and spreads through our Mainland, Bega and Western Star brands.”

Other brands marketed by Fonterra include Brownes Fresh n Fruity yoghurt and CalciYum dairy dessert, while Nestles brands include Nestle Diet and All Natural yoghurts, Milo Mousse, Blissful and Munch Bunch.
