Vin Rowe Farm Machinery Pty Ltd.

Vin Rowe Pty Ltd was established in Warragul, 100 kilometres east of Melbourne in 1961. At this time Warragul was the centre of the most intensive dairying area of Australia. The business was established as a New Holland Hay Machinery/David Brown tractor farm machinery dealer. The business grew over the years and was probably one of the largest machinery dealerships in the country in the late 60s and early 70s. In the mid 70s with the discontinuance of milk contracts and a general down turn in dairy farming it became obvious that we needed to diversify. Our importing/distribution business continued to grow and we found ourselves servicing customers throughout Australia and it became increasingly difficult to adequately service the market ourselves which necessitated a setting up of a specialist dealer network within Australia.
