About us
Roesner Pty Ltd is a modern manufacturing company located at Harvey in South-Western Australia. A family run company, Roesner has been in operation since its humble beginnings as a Blacksmith shop in 1900.
History
The blacksmith trade became virtually redundant in the 1940’s and when Arthur’s son Roy took over the firm he introduced electric welding, a technique he had picked up in his time in the military during the Second World War. Besides general fabrication and repair of farm machinery Roy took on the International Harvester Agency selling tractors, ploughs and disc harrows.
In 1956 Roy was approached by Arthur Marshall to build a prototype fertiliser spreader, and by 1961 the first sales of the Marshall spreader were made to the local fertiliser company, CSML (now CSBP), as they wanted to promote the supply of bulk superphosphate fertiliser as an alternative to bagged product used at the time.
Marshall Spreader production grew quickly with sales throughout Australia and soon became the firm’s main activity. In the mid 1970’s the decision was made to specialise in the production of spreaders. Over 3000 Marshall Spreaders were manufactured.
By the 1980’s changes in farming practises lead to demand for an all purposes spreader that could spread ameliorants such as lime, gypsum, as well as manure and mulches. The Marshall Multispread was developed to meet this demand with the versatility to work in a wide range of applications, from small mixed farms to broadacre grain properties, vineyards and market gardens.
The Marshall Multispread has been Roesner Pty Ltd most successful product to date with over 9500 manufactured. Today Roesners have over 7000 square metres of shed space and use modern manufacturing methods such as Digital prototyping, Laser Cutting, CNC machining and automated paint mixing. Roesners continue to integrate modern manufacturing methods with modern and continual design improvements to meet the requirements of today’s agricultural industry.
