GP Graders awarded Australian Exporter of the Year

Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb announced GP Graders as the winner of the 2014 Australian Exporter of the year award.
Speaking at the awards ceremony in November Mr Robb said: “Exporter of the year, GP Graders (from my home-state of Victoria) should be especially proud of the innovation and imagination they’ve demonstrated, in order to capture international attention for their machinery products.”
Mr Robb said the awards highlight international business excellence at a time when opportunities offshore have never been greater.
“The businesses recognised by these awards make a huge contribution to our economy, and I congratulate the winners—indeed all the finalists—for their commitment, creativity and drive,” he said.

Long history of excellence
GP Graders is an Australian-owned business with a long history of excellence in the equipment export industry, dating back to 1963, when founder Geoff Payne began a small manufacturing and grading packaging machinery business to cater to local apple and stone fruit orchards.
Today, under the guidance of Geoff’s son Stuart, GP Graders is Australia’s leading supplier of fresh produce grading machinery and export to Turkey, Greece, the US and Chile, whilst cutting costs, improving quality and creating much needed time in time-poor agricultural businesses.
