Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling

Our Stockfoods operations are supported by strategically located storage facilities in Mt Maunganui, New Plymouth, and Christchurch, with additional service sites in Matamata and Bluff. This national footprint helps ensure consistent supply and efficient distribution across key farming regions.

All facilities are MPI certified and operate 24/7, with on-site weighbridges at each location to support accurate intake, handling, and dispatch. These standards help maintain product integrity and ensure compliance throughout the storage process.

We understand that reliable storage and handling are critical to keeping feed available when it’s needed. Our purpose-built facilities and experienced teams allow us to manage bulk stockfeed efficiently, support seasonal demand, and maintain dependable supply for our customers.

By controlling our storage and handling in-house, we’re able to reduce delays, maintain quality, and support smooth delivery through our own fleet — giving Stockfoods customers confidence in supply, even during peak periods.
