John Berends
Implements
John Berends
Implements was established on the 6th October 1966, with the
original premises being a weatherboard house in Narre Warren,
Victoria. John began by manufacturing grader blades, rippers, car
trailers and carryalls.
However,
increased demand required bigger premises. In 1974, the business
was moved to Greens Road, Dandenong. In 1978, John Berends
Implements moved to its present location in Frankston Road,
Dandenong. By this stage the range of machinery had grown
considerably.
Gibbins was
founded in 1878, in Melbourne, as a manufacturer of a range of
discs, harrows, grader blades and cultivation equipment.
In the early
1970's, Gibbins merged with Rawlings to produce Gibbins-Rawling Co.
At this stage, Gibbins-Rawling was the distributor for the
Scandinavian based Kongskilde range of cultivation
equipment.
In 1986, John
Berends Implements Pty Ltd brought Gibbins-Rawling and relocated
all stock to their Dandenong premises. Berends had a large slice of
the cultivation market at this point, but believed a share of the
trailing disc market would be beneficial. In taking on the
Gibbins-Rawling range of discs, Berends were able to provide a
quality range of discs, which had already been tested in the field
for a number of years.
The
Gibbins-Rawlings name and colours were kept until 1998, after which
all machines were painted in the Berends colours. The name has been
retained, as it has a long and favourable history with the
Australian farmer.
John Berends
Implements Pty Ltd aim to continue providing strong, reliable and
price competitive products well into the future. With over 40 years
experience in the agricultural business, Berends is the benchmark
in agricultural machinery.
