Export breakthrough
An export first worth: nearly $BO,OOO has been; scored by Richardson McCabe and Company, Ltd. jwith the shipment to Fiji of ■ three containers of belt conveyor idlers. The 26-tonne consignment; produced at the company’s; Ellerslie plant, will beinstalled in a major works ■ project. i “It has been very encouraging to get a break in this market with an all-New Zea-, I land product which has prejviously been supplied mainly from Australia.” said the company’s marketing direct'or (Mr R. D. Youngman).
ij “We got the order on i(quality, price and delivery, t and we are hopeful this will . be the forerunner of similar export sales in the South Pacific,” he said. ; Small sales of roller conjveyors had been made pre- ■ jviously in the Pacific Isi| lands, but production had ■ been almost totally for the home market. Better known as engineer- ; ing importers and manufac•iturers, Richardson Mi( a!>e :is also developing export ! outlets for equipment proJduced at its Kaiapoi works and at other plants.
