Australian agricultural equipment distributor, Waringa Distribution, has increased its support to South Island farmers and contractors with the appointment of Brown Agri Solutions at Hororata, near Christchurch, as a sales agent.

Supplying brands such as Agri- Spread, Gregoire Besson, Geringhoff and Highline, Waringa Distribution commenced distribution in New Zealand in mid-2024, appointing Chris Tricker to a sales and business development role, and to oversee its distribution centres in the South and North islands.

Brown Agri Solutions was established in 2020 by Conor Brown as CSB Mechanical at Hororata.

He was recently joined by his brother Fin, to operate under the new banner to support the Canterbury region. Originally from Devon in South-West England, both have also gained invaluable experience in Western Australia, where Fin worked with a major machinery dealer group in servicing and sales, including as a precision system specialist.

The brothers aim to provide a “one-stop solution”, including across mechanical servicing and repairs, machine and instrument optimisation, precision agriculture systems, auto-electronics, diagnostics and machinery sales.

Waringa Distribution was keen to add further new sales agents across its network in New Zealand and looked forward to flying the Brown Agri Solutions flag and meeting with growers and the industry at the South Island Agricultural Field Days at Kirwee in March.
