A Fonterra spokesperson says it's been nearly two years since Hurrell has been able to get out and see offshore customers and employees.
"With 95% of our product exported and half our employees outside NZ, it's important he gets to see some of them face to face."
The trip included a visit to Fonterra's Amsterdam office where it's chief executive officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa Kelvin Wickham is based.
