As Melbourne’s population increased many vegetable growers moved from the outskirts of the city to the Warragul area.
Whilst still heavily involved with the dairy farming industry we sought out involvements with suppliers of equipment compatible with the vegetable growers. We became Australian importer for the Norwegian company Underhaug (Manufacturer of Potato Machinery) and distributor for ASA Lift, the Danish carrot machine manufacturer.
In the middle 80s we were approached by the French company Kuhn SA who had unsuccessfully over the years been involved with several importers. They put a proposition to us that we form a joint venture to warehouse and distribute their range of machinery and distribute parts to Australia in our own right. The positive part of this arrangement was our business grew considerably with the development of a dealer network and a marked increase in sales volume.
The business is owned and operated by Graham Rowe, Stephen Pike and Nick Rowe. Graham Rowe is the son of the founding owner Vin Rowe and Nick Rowe is Graham’s son.
Our philosophy for the future is to provide a range of the latest Agricultural Equipment to the Australian farming community at the best possible prices.
Our emphasis is strongly on Parts and Service provision, for we see this as an integral part of any success we hope to achieve.
We are so centrally located that there are only a few remote parts of Australia we cant guarantee 24 hour service to.
Our company employs some 30 people and has a long term commitment to the Agricultural Industry.
