The plant, which is based in the north of the Netherlands, will process 5,000 metric tonnes of whey ingredients and 25,000 metric tonnes of lactose per annum.
It will operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and employ 50 people. Production began on 1 January.
A-ware Food Group, who Fonterra jointly developed the site, launched a cheese plant on the site which has also been commissioned on schedule. It was built on a 25-hectare site.
