Relationship is a growing one.MSCNewsWire, 14 March 2016 - A history dating back to the gold rush era did not get in the way of Greymouth’s Dispatch & Garlick being an early adopter of the internet and its ability to concisely portray what the engineering and foundry firm did.
The company specialises in dairy equipment and was an early exporter of rotary plants, notably to Mexico.Even so, there was a degree of surprise when the company began receiving from China emails requesting further details of its products and services.
“It is a lesson to everyone. Take careful note of each message,” cautions Dispatch & Garlick director Mike McMillan who took charge of the company’s first rotary export to China.
Since then Dispatch & Garlick staff have made many journeys to China in order to supervise the installation of numerous milking plants.
In large measure Mr McMillan credits the company’s expertise exports to China as having much to do with the high status in China of New Zealand dairy technology. New Zealand has high brand value in China notes Mr McMillan.
Mr McMillan describes that arrangement as that of a “relationship.” Mr McMillan (at right) is pictured with fellow Dispatch & Garlick director Sam Bugler in front of the company’s new 300 tonne press brake.
