Carrfields Group is continuing its North Canterbury growth strategy for its machinery and irrigation business by purchasing the site of the former Waipara Junction Garage.
Carrfields MD Craig Carr says settlement on the site is due mid-April with the facility being fully operational by early July 2016.
Located at the intersection of State Highway One and the Hanmer Springs turn-off, the new facility will house the CLAAS Harvest Centre, Carrfields Irrigation and the Husqvarna Equipment dealership.
The CLAAS Harvest Centre will provide parts, service and sales and the business will look to develop rural parts support via suppliers that work within the local farming community.
As part of Carrfields Irrigation growth roadmap, the company will provide design and sales, service support and parts to North Canterbury.
The Husqvarna Equipment dealership will be featured in a new showroom and provide general on-site sales and service.
Allied Petroleum will also have a self-service fuel facility on-site.
