Our Company

175 Years Alongside New Zealand Farmers and Growers

For 175 years, PGG Wrightson and the businesses that came before, have walked alongside rural communities, through changing seasons, technologies and innovations. That experience is the foundation of how we support our customers today, and how we look ahead to what comes next.
 

Grounded in History

Our story is woven into the history of New Zealand agriculture. From stock and station services to wool, rural and horticultural supplies, research, and real estate, our legacy continually adapted to meet the needs of farmers and growers. Strong relationships, practical expertise, and a deep understanding of rural life form the backbone of our team's work today. The trust that has been earned over generations, remains central to our business.

Our proud heritage is something we carry forward, and the same spirit that helped rural New Zealand grow then is what drives us now.

Focused on the Future

Our purpose, vision, and strategy reflect a commitment to:

  • Identifying and offering productive, profitable, and sustainable farming and growing systems
  • Developing innovative and practical solutions that make a real difference on farm
  • Strengthening rural communities and the people within them
  • Operating responsibly today so future generations can thrive

Sustainability sits at the heart of this commitment, guiding how we manage land, resources, relationships, and long‑term impact.
