Growers Services acquires Ballarat’s West Ag

Growers Services has announced the acquisition of West Ag located in Ballarat, further expanding its presence in the Kubota dealership network.

The deal is expected to be finalised at the start of July 2022 and will take Growers Services to a total of six branches.

Growers Services Director, Steven Ayling, said WestAg had the same passion for customers as Growers Services, making the dealership a well-suited addition.

“Ballarat is a key agricultural region consisting of mostly mixed farming and Kubota machinery plays a key role in supporting customers with whatever job lays ahead,” he said.

“We are excited to welcome West Ag to our network and keep providing the exceptional service, support, and quality products that our customers have come to rely on.

“With this expansion, we will be looking to learn from the local team but also improving the experience for customers where we see room for it. There are a lot of opportunities in the Ballarat market, it is a fantastic region with a lot of activity.”

WestAg Director, Simon Meagher, spent 35 years servicing the Ballarat rural region and said he was pleased to be handing over the baton to Grower Services.

“Growers Services’ philosophy of looking after customers is what we have always done and I look forward to seeing continued growth and support for the West Ag branch," he said.

General Manager Sales for Kubota Australia, Peter Gloury, welcomed the move.

“WestAg have done a great job over many years serving the needs of customers. I am confident that Growers Services will continue this given their track record of putting the needs of customers first.” he said.

With the acquisition, Growers Services now has branches in Mildura, Renmark, Swan Hill, and Ballarat as well as two specialty branches in Berri and Griffith.
