Hynds Group and Federated Farmers have signed a strategic partnership deal.

Founded 49 years ago by John and Léonie Hynds, Hynds Group includes nine businesses and 900+ staff in New Zealand and Australia.

Hynds Pipe Systems general manager Craig Mangos says the company decided to partner with Federated Farmers to become better informed of the challenges, trends and compliance/regulatory issues facing farmers “so we can better serve and supply the rural sector”.

“The Hynds’ family values include ‘giving back’ and we look forward to launching new initiatives to help Federated Farmers members and support rural communities,” Mangos says.

Federated Farmers chief executive Terry Copeland says he is also looking forward to a mutually beneficial partnership with Hynds Group.

“The majority of farming businesses in New Zealand are family run and we see in Hynds a company that is proud of its family business roots and Kiwi drive to excel,” Copeland says.

“We’re all about ‘helping farmers to excel’ and Hynds offers myriad products and solutions to our farmers, from concrete cattle stops and troughs right through to complex effluent handling and water systems.”

“Federated Farmers is delighted to partner with such an important Kiwi company on the eve of its 50th year of operation.”
