Landpower opens doors on new world-class facilities in Christchurch.

Today, 23rd April 2024, we open the doors to our new state-of-the-art agricultural retail hub in Yaldhurst, Christchurch.

The new building reflects the developing world of agricultural technology and comes as Landpower heads into their fiftieth year in business in 2025. It’s bringing the best of a family-owned NZ business and the latest agricultural machinery together in a world-class facility designed to help support our local customers. To mark the occasion, Cathrina Claas-Mühlhäuser, Chairperson of the CLAAS Group has joined Landpower CEO Richard Wilson and Founder Herby Whyte for the official opening ceremony. This is Cathrina’s first visit to New Zealand and she will spend time meeting customers and visiting farms throughout the South Island.  We are delighted to have Cathrina here from Germany to mark this day with us. We have proudly represented CLAAS since 1987 and our long-term relationship has allowed us to provide the world’s leading machinery to our New Zealand customers.

The purpose-built facility has become home to three former sites across Canterbury – the Templeton retail store, parts distribution centre, and our support office. This confirms our commitment to our people and a strong agricultural future, one that creates efficiencies and ultimately allows Landpower to deliver a better product, customer experience and service to local farmers and contractors.
