History
The origins of PFG Australia can be traced all the way back to
Maber Motors, a one-man operation established by Laurie Maber in
1948 to sell and service tractors and implements in the local
farming community in Morrinsville, New Zealand.
Over the years, with Laurie's unfaltering commitment to service
and backup Maber Motors expanded to three retail branches. It was
very much a family business, and Laurie’s son Geoff joined Maber
Motors soon after leaving school.
 In 1977, Maber Motors
secured the rights to distribute Iseki tractors in New Zealand, and
Geoff eventually formed a separate wholesale company to fully
develop this new opportunity. The new company was named Power
Farming Wholesale Limited.
Iseki quickly became New Zealand’s top selling tractor and Power
Farming Wholesale Limited grew at a fantastic pace. In 1981, the
company secured the Iseki distribution rights for Australia, and
over the next two decades gradually built a stable of high quality
tractor and machinery franchises in both countries.
Two companies were eventually established in Melbourne to manage
the Australian side of the business – EuroAg, representing the two
European tractor brands of McCormick and Landini, and Ag Holdings,
representing the new Daedong tractor range from Korea together with
North American produced Buhler Versatile tractors and the Jacobsen
range of precision mowing equipment.
Both companies were very successful and in July 2005 they merged
to create PFG Australia.
PFG Australia is now part of a major international enterprise
with a considerable investment in people, facilities and technology
– all aimed at serving a customer base spread throughout the length
and breadth of Australia. |
