Fonterra Suppliers Confident in Mainland Dairy Future
Fonterra's 460 milk suppliers in Australia, who will switch to Lactalis end of this month, are unfazed with the impending change.
Dedoncker, managing director global markets consumer, joined Fonterra in 2005 and has held several global leadership positions during that time, including leading the Mainland Group business since March 2025.
