Anchor's story
We would like to share our story of goodness from grass to glass with you.
Our Anchor Brand comes from New Zealand, a source of pure dairy goodness, and has been around for more than 130 years. Anchor’s founder, Henry Reynolds, arrived in New Zealand from Cornwall in 1868. An entrepreneurial farmer, he first established a small dairy factory at Pukekura in 1886, with the aim of making quality butter.
Over the years the cherished brand went from strength to strength and Henry decided to sell Anchor to the New Zealand Dairy Association in 1896, which later became part of the Fonterra Co-operative in 2001.
Today, thanks to over 130 years of good ‘old dairy know-how, modern innovation and ingenuity, the goodness of Anchor is available in over 160 products and across 80 countries. Because we believe that goodness feeds greatness, our products are made with the natural goodness of dairy. Whether it’s milk, butter or cheese, it’s nature’s way of helping you start strong and go strong daily.
“This is why we strive to champion human potential, drop by drop, glass by glass, day by day”
Because achieving greatness isn’t something that happens overnight, it’s something you work towards with strength and self-belief, every single day.
As you can see, here at Anchor, we are passionate about dairy and what it can do for life.
