WAIKATO MILKING SYSTEMS
Innovative solutions to save farmers the world over time and money
Waikato Milking Systems is a company that serves farmers all over the world, while being proud of its rich heritage
that prides itself on being a New Zealand firm wholly owned by New Zealanders.Specialists in meeting the requirements of small family based farmers to intensive 24-hour milking operations, Waikato Milking Systems are experts in the field.
One of the main reasons for this is the company’s continued insistence in working with farmers to produce the equipment. By consistently using feedback from the very people who use the systems, the company is able to refine products, develop new ideas and use innovative new technology to provide the exact solutions required.
EVERY STEP OF THE WAYWaikato Milking Systems has total control over the design and manufacture of all its products from start to finish.
Its Rotary Division, Stainless Division, Composite Technologies Division and subsidiary in the USA work together to ensure a seamless process that delivers exceptional, high quality products.Located in Janesville, Wisconsin, Waikato Milking Systems USA Ltd distributes milking components and systems throughout America. With experienced and dedicated staff the US division plays an important, strategic role in developing our global presence.
HEAD OFFICE INVESTMENTIn 2014, Waikato Milking Systems announced a major investment to consolidate four sites from Matamata at around Hamilton at Northgate Business Park in Horotiu, 8km north of Te Rapa.Construction has begun on a second building next to the already existing factory that will house the company’s administration headquarters and another factory to build its most sophisticated systems.Once complete, in May 2015, milking machines and associated electronics will be produced in the building. It will also contain offices for administration staff and a warehouse that will be shared with the other Waikato Milking Systems factories.The building will stand at around 4,000 square metres in size, while the entire Waikato Milking Systems site is 1.6ha.The number of staff working there will more than double to 120, consolidating four Waikato Milking Systems sites from Matamata and around Hamilton.

“Individually we’ve established ourselves as leaders in our respective fields - but we believe we can deliver even more value on farm by working collaboratively.”Deosan has 15 years of experience and has become a leading developer and supplier of formulations which protect the health and output of dairy herd.Kip Bodle, Managing Director of Deosan said: “We’ve achieved a great deal in a short time but believe we can achieve a lot more by working more closely with Waikato Milking Systems to understand their technology better so we can adapt our products.”The collaboration will also see Deosan representatives trained in Waikato Milking Systems technology to deliver even better levels of
service to the farmer - ‘advice and support with the farm dairy and the products needed to keep it clean and maintain herd health.’
HERD MANAGEMENTWaikato uses the AfiMilk comprehensive herd management system to provide a tailor-made user friendly and professionally designed tool to meet the many challenges of daily decision-making on farms.The system uses factual, co-related data and trends to help manage breeding, nutrition, health monitoring and management, herd movement, buying and selling of animals, quota production management and more.AfiMilk specialises in generating customised reports to aid with
meeting local managerial needs. It can measure, amongst others, milking efficiency, animal health reports, veterinary modules, drug management.
PRODUCTSWaikato Milking Systems offers systems that use different methods for milking; rotary platforms which are the most efficient for milking large herds, and in-line stalls, set-up to provide an economical solution for milking commercial herds.The latter systems typically use an in-line system which requires a smaller building footprint than a rotary platform.As well as these, Waikato’s milking components have been tried and tested over many decades in many countries and under all milking scenarios. These range from standard equipment to more advanced automated systems to build an even more powerful milking system.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTWaikato Milking Systems is more than just a company intent on making profits. It is focused on helping the community in which it operates. In New Zealand it does this by providing sponsorship and funding for worthy projects.Waikato supports the endeavours of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter which brings life-saving equipment, rescue personnel and trauma-
