Synlait Milk's new dairy factory at Pokeno is taking shape with commissioning on schedule to begin in early spring.

Around 160 construction workers are building the $250-$260 million factory in north Waikato, which is about 60 per cent complete.

Once finished it will staff 40-60 people and produce 45,000 tonnes of infant-grade skim milk, whole milk and infant formula base powders for the Chinese export market.

The factory sits on a 28-hectare site and Clement said it is large enough for them to expand further if needed in the future.

"There's plenty of room for expansion so we can keep adding adjacent dryers or other equipment as we need to."
