Robert
An electrician who moved into the Refrigeration and Air-conditioning area, Robert initially designed a unit for drying macadamia nuts and from there has designed and developed the units and trays to improve on the initial design. Using his skills in electrical, refrigeration and programming he has designed and developed the whole system gaining extensive knowledge of the drying processes.

If you would like to learn more about us – especially Robert, he did a podcast for Kiwis in Business and an article was sent to various publications. (Our 8-year-old grandson thought it was great that Grandad had his own podcast that anyone in the world could listen to.)
