Yashili's Greenfield Development in New Zealand - Partnering with Babbage for Full Consultancy Services

This strategic move was part of Yashili’s global expansion, aimed at leveraging New Zealand’s reputation for high-quality dairy production. Babbage was selected as a trusted partner to deliver end-to-end consultancy and project delivery services for this greenfield development.
Babbage provided a comprehensive suite of services across all phases of the project, including:
Feasibility Study & Site Selection
Project & Construction Management
Project Engineering & Technical Design
Financial Control & Procurement
Health and Safety Advisory
Our multi-disciplinary team developed the Site Master Plan and Concept Design for the entire facility, which included critical infrastructure such as the Milk Reception, Drying Tower, Warehouse, and Process Services. These deliverables were instrumental in securing investment approval and setting the foundation for successful execution.
From the outset, Babbage worked in close partnership with Yashili, taking a consultative approach to understand their operational requirements, business objectives, and regulatory considerations. This enabled us to tailor our services and deliver a solution that aligned with Yashili’s strategic goals.
Our Project Management and Technical Consultancy teams coordinated seamlessly to ensure timely delivery, quality assurance, and cost control throughout the project lifecycle.
The relationship between Babbage and Yashili has evolved into a long-term partnership. Over the past decade, we have continued to support Yashili with ongoing process improvements, operational enhancements, and advisory services on a number of various projects such as:
Stage 1 – Infant Formula and Dryer 1
8T/hr WMP Powder Plant
Blending and Canning Plant
Packaging Plant Drystore (20,000m2)
20MW Boiler

This extensive collaboration reflects the trust and value built through our shared commitment to excellence.
