Waringa Distribution is thrilled to announce its expansion into New Zealand in 2024, bringing renowned agricultural equipment brands to support local producers.

Waringa Distribution General Manager Sam Abbott and Chris Tricker, New Zealand Sales and Business Development, discuss the business’ equipment line-up for New Zealand producers.

We are extremely excited to grow the Waringa brand with Grégoire Besson. Our customers expect the best, and the Grégoire Besson Brand is well-known and regarded by farmers globally for its strength, versatility, and high level of performance.

We listen to the different markets and our team is passionate about the equipment ranges we support and working closely with producers, ultimately with a focus on producing food as productively and cost-efficiently as possible.

Waringa has arrived in New Zealand and is quickly gearing up to fully support producers across the country with some of the world’s leading brands.

Part of a diversified farming group, Waringa Distribution thoroughly appraises and paddock-tests machinery brands prior to their market introduction and before assisting operators with full support and parts backup.

Sam said Waringa Distribution had been looking to further grow and expand into New Zealand, but this had been hampered by the global supply chain conditions in recent years.

However, it has since appointed well-respected local industry identity, Chris Tricker, to lead its operations in New Zealand and has established freight, assembly, warehousing and parts distribution locations in both the North and South islands.

Prior to relocating to Marlborough in recent years and working on the South Island, he was involved in sales and operations management, consulting and contracting, including with CLAAS Harvest Centre, in the Waikato region.

Waringa  is the exclusive distributor for Agri-Spread fertiliser and muck spreaders, Gregoire Besson tillage and soil structuring equipment, Highline rock handling and hay bale processing equipment, and Broughan Engineering trailers in New Zealand. Waringa anticipates further grain grower interest in Geringhoff header fronts and Elmer’s chaser bins.

Waringa looks forward to adding to its team and resources in New Zealand, including appointing potential dealers, as well as flying the flag and developing relationships with producers.

Proof of placement with product applications will drive adoption of these technologies into the future. The level of technology with the Agri-Spread spreaders is excellent. It offers full section control on a 36-metre spreader and that is almost unheard of.
