New era for companies

TE AWAMUTU-BASED FERTILISER COMPANY TERRACARE HAS bought Fertco.

Fertco bought TerraCare from the Macky family on February 8 this year.

Fertco chief executive Warwick Voyce says Fertco and TerraCare have always shared similar philosophies in regard to looking after clients and the environment, and Fertco aims to add TerraCare’s branded products to its already comprehensive range.

He says the purchase is akin to an amalgamation, rather than one being taken over by the other.

Fertco, a Bay of Plenty company based near the Port of Tauranga services the Bay, Waikato, and King Country regions. TerraCare, with a factory in Te Awamutu, has a customer base in the Waikato, King Country, Manawatu, and lower North Island.
