Manufacture Of Farm Chemicals
A new office block, factory and vaccine unit will be opened at Otahuhu, Auckland, today for Cooper, McDougall and Robertson (N.Z.), Ltd. This is the first phase of a £250,000 development plan. As a result of the recent merger of Cooper, McDougall and Robertson with the Wellcome Foundation, Ltd., New Zealand now contributes the results of local research and testing to the vast amount of information coming into the organisation from its research units in the major livestock countries of the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Argentina, South Africa. Uruguay, and the United States The fruits of this combined knowledge return to this country to help solve the New Zealand farmers’ problems. The Cooper organisation were the first to develop aerosols and other pressure packs on a major scale in Europe. Their main United Kingdom factory now has the largest output of any aerosol unit outside the United States of America. Research in this pack field is centred in the pressure pack laboratory in the Cooper Technical Bureau in England. The majority of fly-killer aerosols sold in New Zealand today are based on materials manufactured by the group.
