Background Information

"Mealie Brand" is the brand name under which Zimplow markets its products. Customers can be assured of quality with Mealie Brand products which are produced in an ISO 9001:2000 rated factory from materials that consistently meet quality specifications.

Today the company produces a complete range of animal drawn implements which cover the needs of the farmer from breaking the soil to planting the crop. The company actively courts agricultural research and development bodies so that it develops products accordingly.

The manufacturing plant is situated on a six hectare site in Bulawayo in Zimbabwe. The company employs more than 300 people and markets its products throughout the region through experienced and professional agents.

Spares are an important aspect with any agricultural equipment and Zimplow ensures that it holds adequate stocks of all spares. Farmers are recommended to buy only Mealie Brand spares to be sure of consistent performance and quality.

Mealie Brand works closely with agricultural conservation and extension departments in Zimbabwe and endeavors to form similar relationships in the other regional markets in which it operates. These complement the efforts of Mealie's regional agents and provide useful forums for the interchange of ideas.

The management of Mealie Brand firmly believes that animal drawn agricultural implements are not yesterday's technology. Any agriculturally based country in the under developed or developing category has need for small scale commercial farmers. The levels of unemployment in such countries make small scale commercial agriculture the ideal sector to develop and grow.
