About Us

WMI Feeders has been servicing the farming industry for more than a decade. The business was formed by father and son Wayne and Jason Willie, in 2009.

As a company, we aim to create high-quality, long-lasting products, that can withstand the tough Aussie climate.

We want our customers to be able to know a little bit about us and our products before making a purchase. Keep reading to learn a little bit about us, about our company, and about our people.

About Our People

As mentioned earlier, WMI was started in 2009 by father and son Wayne and Jason Willie. The company formed after the pair took over Carroll’s Manufacturing Industries. Prior to this, Jason completed his apprenticeship in engineering and fabrication with Carroll’s, and was heavily involved in the design and production of their popular Pa-Mick and Albybone bale feeders, along with other farm machinery. As a company, we employ eight staff, including two apprentices.

About Our Company

At WMI, we primarily manufacture bale feeders, as well as a wide range of general fabrication. We pride ourselves on producing the highest quality range of bale feeders. We utilise modern technology in the design of our machines, and have used feedback from farmers for the design and production of new machines, catering to the needs of various farming operations.

Our machines are sold by a range of dealers throughout Australia. These include dealers in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Western Australia, and Tasmania. You can also purchase our machines directly through us if there is no dealer close by.

Since taking over Carroll’s Manufacturing Industries, WMI has released two new machines into the market. These are the smaller Elite round bale feeder, which was released in May 2010, and the Champion multi bale feeder, which was released in February 2012. The Champion can hold up to six bales (depending on the model), and loads from the rear. We reckon it’s the only machine of its kind in the world!

We ensure customer satisfaction by producing high-quality products. Our machines are built-to-last, and a testament to this is the fact that the first one we ever made is still going strong 17 years later! We understand machinery needs to be built tough in order to withstand harsh Aussie farm conditions. Our feeders are made in Australia, for Australian conditions. We use a simple design and ensure quality welding.

Another element of WMI’s process is that we use customer feedback for improvements (where possible), and when designing new machines. We find a major component of our sales come from word of mouth through the farming community, but we also market our business through local media, and through presence at field days.
