Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of T&G’s cutting-edge $100 million apple packhouse in Whakatu, which opened in May 2023. This state-of-the-art facility is nearly fully automated, using advanced technology for apple washing, grading, packing, palletising, and storage. Some apples are even packed by robots – though humans still do it faster!
This is a rare opportunity to see one of New Zealand’s most advanced post-harvest facilities in action.
Visitor Requirements:
Wear hi-viz if you have one (T&G will provide hair and beard nets)
Wear flat, fully enclosed shoes
No jewellery or watches (plain wedding bands without stones are permitted)
No photos allowed – please leave your phone in the car
