Construction of the Gardians plant near Balclutha on a 4ha site began in September 2011 and has been upgraded recently. It was operational in 2012 with the target of finishing 20,000 tonnes of dairy nutritional products a year. This Dryer will provide Danone Nutricia with a large milk drying capacity, along with a long-term fresh milk supply access. ‘It will also add an infant formula blending and packing facility to Nutricia’s existing operations platform.’
