CHANCE OF INTEREST
Sawmilling Company Ogilvie and Company, Ltd, which began as a sawmilling business on the West Coast 59 years ago, has established its head office in Christchurch. The company is a major distributor of chain saws and light motors. The introduction of the chain saw led to the company’s expansion and to its final severing of connection with the sawmilling industry. Fifteen years ago the company was approached to promote and sell a brand of chain saw. The managingdirector saw great possibilities and the change from milling began. A branch of the company was opened in Christchurch in 1960, and then it began extending to other South Island centres and Rotorua in the North Island.
