Our history
In 1987, we entered an industry tainted by a great deal of negative publicity about crop spraying, a problem that had carried over into almost every area of horticultural activity.
A fresh new approach
This adverse publicity impacted on many businesses in the horticultural and agricultural arena. Because of this, we decided to adopt an entirely fresh approach based upon:
- A focus on safety,
- New and innovative technology and work practices,
- Open and honest dialogue with the public,
- Added-value services that clearly differentiated our company,
- Highly skilled field operatives competent in public relations, and
- More effective monitoring and reporting systems.
These strategies were successful
Being a new player in the industry, we did not have to carry the same baggage as our predecessors. As a result we were able to quickly reverse the adverse trends of the past and gain widespread community acceptance.
Commitment to research and development
Our inability to source purpose designed equipment suited to the urban environment soon became another major hurdle. To overcome this we began to develop our own specialised equipment, a process that saw the birth of our unique range of DriftProof equipment, now seen as the industry benchmark.
This prompted us to commit a portion of our profits to set up a government recognised research and development facility. This initiative has since produced a number of other key innovations.
Developing more sustainable work practices
We also made a strong commitment to the introduction of more sustainable work practices and went on to pioneer a number of exciting service initiatives all aimed at better protecting the environment. This included setting up our specialised Natural Areas operating division now gaining widespread recognition and accolades.
These initiatives helped Technigro grow into the multi-million dollar business it is today while also setting many exciting new industry benchmarks.
