About Norwood

The power of our machinery put us on the map. But it’s the power of our people and our network that sets us apart.

Norwood is the largest network selling and servicing premium agricultural machinery in New Zealand.

Kiwi farmers, growers, and contractors plough fields, harvest crops, and raise stock all over the country, from Cape Reinga at the top of the North Island, to Bluff at the bottom of the South. We’ve made it our mission to be there too, setting a goal of being 90 minutes or less from any blade of grass in New Zealand.

We drive the performance and sustainability of New Zealand agriculture through technology and innovation. We’ve been keeping New Zealand farmers moving for more than 70 years, and we intend to keep doing so for many years to come.
