Fonterra to Refurbish Tasmanian Cheese Tower with $1.7 Million Investment
Source: dairynews.today
Fonterra plans to enhance its cheddaring tower at the Wynyard cheese factory in Tasmania, aiming to modernize its infrastructure and meet new standards.
Global dairy giant Fonterra has announced an ambitious $1.7 million refurbishment plan for its cheddaring tower located at Wynyard, Tasmania. This investment aims to upgrade the tower’s height to 21 metres, nearly doubling its width, and elevate it to new industry standards. The development application includes installing state-of-the-art stainless-steel platforms and enhancing ventilation systems.
The entire tower, along with its adjacent structures, will be dismantled to facilitate these changes. The cheddaring tower plays a pivotal role in the cheese production process by vacuuming curds to its top and letting them descend to form dense cheese blocks.
This refurbishment will enable Fonterra's Tasmania facility to deliver higher quality products efficiently. Fonterra continues to leverage its range of well-known brands in Australia, including Western Star butter, Bega Cheese, Mainland Cheese, and Perfect Italiano, ensuring a significant market presence.
The move underscores Fonterra's commitment to maintaining industry competitiveness and addressing evolving cheese production needs at a global scale.
