“The work our team did towards this year’s’ expo was incredible and we would not have walked away with the award without their contributions.”

Last year at Fieldays the team was focused mainly on sales.

The approach changed this year focusing on a friendly and positive experience for customers visiting the stall.

The great thing about this event, apart from winning the award is seeing people from the industry coming together.

“In the middle of our exhibition we have the dual-flow herringbone system which showcases our technology and the work our engineers do on these machines”.

“These are high quality products,” says Lee. “The cost of these machines can range from $4,500 to $7,000’.
Boumatics is from Madison Wisconsin and arrived in New Zealand September 2010 with the team working out of their home offices.

“We did have an office in Queen Street but farmers do not really come up to Auckland so it was closed.”

Boumatics has a group of dealers who do great work for them throughout the country.

These include Bromley Diary and Pumps in Fielding and Geoff Hampton Engineering  in Darfield Canterbury.
“To us these guys are like family and the work they do for Boumatics is very important”.
