The Wrangler is a family owned and operated company designing and manufacturing awesome innovative animal handling products for the dairy industry.
Designed for Farmers by Farmers
They say necessity is the mother of great inventions, and this certainly rang true for the Wrangler. Sharemilker Wilco Klein Ovink found hooves dangerous and difficult to do with nothing more than a piece of rope tying the rope to a railing. In fact it was while watching another farmer tie up a cow’s leg only to have her fall and break her hip that Wilco got thinking there had to be a better way. He built a Wrangler for himself and found it invaluable for other tasks too. Vets and farmers persuaded him to enter it in the Fieldays Invention awards which he won both years of entering. Demand was such that soon farming had to give way to fabricating, setting up a factory in rural Bay of Plenty. Over the years adjustments have been made based on farmers’ feedback, many of whom have put hundreds of cows through their Wranglers.
In a world where getting ahead at all costs is the norm, the Wrangler team has an integral difference - integrity. Treating people right, and putting any problem right (be they suppliers, customers, or others) has always been a cornerstone value at the Wrangler. The bonus? - the friends acquired along the way.
Kiwi's make great products and we love that we can support other New Zealand manufacturers. From the steel to the galvanising, the wheels to the ropes, Wranglers are kiwi to the core.
Community Support
The Wrangler is pleased to help in the community, sponsoring many organisations such as the TECT Rescue Helicopter, local schools and events, and the Dairy Industry Awards (amongst others).
