Wrightson buys Australia's Keith Seeds
Wrightson adds to Australian seed business with Keith Seeds purchase
Nov. 23 (BusinessDesk) – PGG Wrightson has added to its 75-year-old seeds business in Australia with the acquisition of Keith Seeds Pty.
No price for the transaction, effective Nov. 22, was given in Wrightson’s statement to the NZX. South Australia-based Keith Seeds produces pasture and oil seeds, a variety of legumes and even birdseed. It exports to South America, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and North America.
The purchase “will build on our existing presence in South Australia, and bring further technical and logistical capability that will complement our other operations,” said John McKenzie, group GM of Wrightson’s AgriTech Division.
The purchase follows Wrightson’s acquisition in New Zealand of the Corson Grain maize seed business.
Shares of Wrightson fell 2.1% to 47 cents.
