Gallagher is celebrating its 80th anniversary as a leading technology company in the animal management, security and fuel systems industries.
The family-owned and operated company was founded in 1938 by the late Bill Gallagher Senior and is headquartered in Hamilton, New Zealand.
Eighty years ago, Gallagher was a 10-person business which designed and delivered New Zealand's first electric fence. Today, the company is delivering world firsts through three business units and employs 1100 people across a global network in ten countries.
To celebrate 80 years of connecting people with innovative solutions, Gallagher will hold a series of events for customers and employees throughout North America, Europe, Asia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
"The innovative spirit of, my father, our founder Bill Gallagher Senior — who 80 years ago worked to solve our first problem — is alive in the generations of our people who continue to deliver previously unthought-of solutions," said Sir William Gallagher, CEO and chairman.
