Agri-Plant NZ was formed in early 2024 by owner-operator Brian Robertson. Based in Palmerston North, Brian immigrated to New Zealand in 2006 from Scotland having established a successful career in agricultural contracting and sales.

Brian established himself in the New Zealand agricultural machinery industry at CB Norwood, including a decade as Brand Manager for Kuhn NZ from 2012-2022.

Agri-Plant NZ has established a relationship with Richard Western UK to distribute their high quality products in the North Island. Brian has extensive experience in working with overseas manufacturers to develop products suited to the unique needs of the NZ market.

Agri-plant has recently purchased a local Manawatu shelter belt trimming business. This work will keep him busy and engaged with the local farming community while allowing time to focus on machinery importing and sales.

Brian's main aim with Agri-Plant NZ is to get back to his roots on the farm, and provide great solutions to the dynamic agricultural contracting industry. His passion for machinery and experience in agriculture are clear to anyone who spends time with him. If you need help or advice on machinery purchases or operations he will be keen to help. His experience and industry network are sure to get you the advice you need.

Agri-Plant NZ’s key supplier relationships and direct routes to market will result in significant savings for New Zealand customers. Dealing directly with the factory and removing all of the back office expenses seen with the corporates means that Agri-Plant NZ will ensure you get the right product at a great price - every time.
