History
Servicing Latin America for Generations
Pacific Basin Exports (PBEX) was founded in 1978 following an extensive tour of Latin America by our founder – Gerry Williams. Gerry’s experience with New Zealand farming operations is second to none. His immediate family have been commercial sheep and beef farmers in New Zealand for 4 generations and Gerry himself has been a beef, sheep and deer farmer.
Eager to share this experience with the farming communities of South America, Gerry founded PBEX; allowing him to combine his knowledge of intensive farming operations, and access to cutting edge New Zealand Technology, to optimise farming operations and increase profitability.
Since then, the company has been New Zealand’s major exporter of pasture seed, animal genetics, electric fencing, and other agricultural technologies to clients throughout South America and the Falkland Islands.
During this time PBEX has been a pioneer, responsible for the initial plants and start-up technology of the Kiwi industry in Chile, was involved with the development of the blueberry industry in Chile, the first to send NZ animal genetics (dairy semen) to Chile and was responsible for the initiation of laboratory wool testing in Chile and the Falkland Islands.
In 2007 Gerry’s son Nick returned to New Zealand from working in Europe and joined the family business and is now Managing Director of the company. PBEX has grown from humble beginnings to being the major exporter of pasture-based farm management technologies from Australia and New Zealand into the Latin market.
