PGG and Wrightson had a combined history of more than 300 years,
dating from 1851 and 1841 respectively. PGG Wrightson is New
Zealand’s largest – and only nationwide – provider to the
agricultural sector. We offer a wide range of products, services
and solutions to farmers, growers and processors in New Zealand,
and to processors and end-users internationally.
PGG Wrightson draws on the knowledge and expertise of 2,700
staff – and the services of diverse business units, alliances
and partnerships – to meet the needs of more than 90,000 clients
across New Zealand. We also have growing operations in Australia
and South America. Assets and annual turnover each exceed $1
billion dollars.
We trade under the PGG Wrightson brand in New Zealand, apart
from the Lower North Island where the Livestock, Wool and Rural
Supplies businesses are conducted under the Williams & Kettle
brand. Our shares are listed on the New Zealand sharemarket
under the code PGGW. |
