Seed Force opens $4 million site at Shepparton

‘‘Shepparton was chosen as a good central hub and key transport route for the business to move seed efficiently around Australia,’’ Seed Force chair Warwick Green said.

The company’s group managing director Bruce Garrett said the $4million facility was needed to best serve customers.

‘‘We have invested heavily in expanding the capacity of our operation to ensure we can deliver to our customers’ expectations.

‘‘The new seed coating and treatment equipment, pallet racking, warehouse bin management, business software and bespoke office space means we can continue to do this as we grow.’’

Seed Force employs about 30 people nationally, with half of these located at the Shepparton office.
