No matter what you want to put into your farm, or want to get back, CCMP combines more than 40 years’ experience with industry-leading technology

Whether you need a full turnkey dairy solution, farm engineering, water reticulation or pumping solutions or just some good advice, CCMP will provide you with everything its brand stands for — integrated farm solutions.

CCMP is proud to be an Otago-owned and grown business, established in the early 1960s.

The company started as a relatively small operation out of a workshop in Balclutha, with business based around a machine that manufactured chain link wire mesh.

This machine produced mesh for stock gates, stock feeders, security fences and other products the company sold.

In the mid-1970s, Bill Keith bought the company after establishing solid experience in the engineering trade.

Today, CCMP is still family-owned and is now owned and managed by Mr Keith’s eldest sonHamish.

In the early days, Bill Keith still continued manufacturing products based around the mesh machine. Farm gates were the biggest-selling product the company manufactured and at times the mesh machine would operate up to 18 hours a day with staff working in shifts. New products were developed and manufactured to supply the Otago-Southland farming community.

From an early stage the company could see the potential for diversification into other farming-orientated products and services, and as farming practices and farmers’ demands changed so did CCMP.

Today, the main focus of CCMP is still on the rural sector, with its core business coming from the dairy industry.

Bill Keith installed the company’s first milking machine in 1979.

The team continues to provide professional top-tier quality in its sheep gates, dog motels, security fencing, dairy farm maintenance, milk machines, water pumps...
