• Galaxy Group is a family-owned business based in Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.

    Our involvement with agriculture began in the 70s when we farmed sheep and beef and grew process crops. During that time, we developed a healthy interest in finding new ways to simplify key agricultural tasks and make them more efficient. This led to a couple of pioneering achievements that include importing New Zealand’s first grape harvester and developing the first conveyor belt system for a squash harvester.

  • An obsession with emerging technology led us to the horticultural sector where we could see great potential in providing growers with the latest tools for making their operations more productive and more profitable. Today, we are the specialist in orchard platforms. Since importing our first Tecnofruit system in 2017, we’ve expanded our stable of platform brands to meet the needs of various orchard systems in New Zealand and Australia.

    Our goal is simply to provide growers with the right technology to make their operations more profitable and support that technology with superior service.
