Westfield Industries - a brand by Ag Growth International Inc.
It was in 1950 that Abraham Plett bought a grain auger to resell to a customer and when the auger collapsed under load, he took the opportunity to design a better undercarriage. Shortly after the manufacturer refused to incorporate his design improvements, Abraham decided to build a better grain auger himself. Abraham sold his first two augers in 1951, choosing the name Westfield along with the now familiar bright yellow color, reminiscent of fields of golden prairie wheat. In 1965, he turned control over to his sons. In 1968, a brand new 8400 square foot factory was completed in Rosenort, Manitoba. A redesigned grain auger and expanded model line-up were introduced. Sales grew locally and then into the US and overseas. Our products, equipment, technology, and services help facilitate the storage, blending, mixing, conveying, conditioning, processing, and protection of agricultural inputs and produce around the world.
