About Us
Parkland Products are market leaders in lawn, greens and turf care equipment. We pride ourselves in providing world-class brands and valuable expertise to our customers across the country. Our mission is to work with customers to enable them to meet their land and property use objectives, with efficient use of time and resources.
Parkland started in Rosedale, New Zealand in 1988. Our founder, Chris Todd, believed there was a gap in the quality of equipment used to maintain New Zealand golf course greens. In his search for something superior, he discovered TORO mowers. This started our 35-year relationship with the world-class brand.
We have expanded our products and services across the complementary areas of the golfing, residential, council and commercial sectors. Today we have over 50 staff spread across our premises in Auckland, Christchurch, and Cromwell. We also offer full parts and servicing of equipment from our team of certified service technicians and mechanics. Throughout our evolution, our customers have remained our ‘why’. Since 1988, we have built and maintained many valuable, long-term customer relationships.
What We Value
Strong Relationships
Building strong relationships with customers is at the core of our practice. We invest time to get to know our customers situations, and make sure we provide the best solution to suit their needs.
World Class Brands
We choose to only work with brands that are outstanding in their sector. Our brands are world-class and guarantee innovative design, sound construction and quality outcomes for customers.
Expert Staff
Our expert team are committed to meeting customer needs in the most effective way. Our staff are loyal, customer-focused and have a genuine interest in their product and service lines.
Our Heritage
Over 30-years ago, Chris Todd was introduced to the Toro brand and quickly recognised its value and application potential across several market segments. Chris purchased the existing New Zealand agent for Toro, gaining the exclusive distribution rights. Thus, Parkland was born in 1988 from its original premise in Ride Way, Rosedale.
We have come a long way in our 30-years of operating (despite still being located down the road from the original site). Since the mid-1990’s we have been extending our brand portfolio and are now the exclusive distributors for several world-class brands related to the turf industry, including Grillo, Yamaha Golf Carts, Motorola Irrigation and Pope. We have also expanded both in size and geography, with 40 staff between our Auckland, Christchurch and Cromwell branches.
Parkland in the Community
Parkland Products support several organisations across the community, through both charitable spend and donation of equipment. We are particularly proud of our long-term, established partnership with Trees For Survival, Wai-Ora Trust and Ronald McDonald House Charity.
