ABOUT
Grenfell Commodities has been a family-run business since 1987/88 when Peter Mawhinney acquired the mill, initially producing four product lines for retail outlets. Over the years, the business has grown significantly, now offering over 30 product lines and supplying outlets from Far North Queensland to the Victorian border.
In the early to mid-1990s, Peter expanded the business into a bulk grain storage and handling operation with a capacity of 45,000 tonnes of segregated grain storage while maintaining the mill on-site. In 2003, the next generation took an active role when Trevor Mawhinney returned to Grenfell with his family to join the family business. The company continued to innovate and expand, culminating in constructing a new facility for the bagged grain mill in 2018. In 2022, Trevor took ownership of the bagged grain operation in its new premises. The bulk grain storage and handling segment of the business was sold in February 2023.
Today, while the focus remains on producing high-quality bagged grain, Peter enjoys semi-retirement, managing cattle and cropping on his properties.
ABOUT OUR PRODUCTION FACILITIES
At Grenfell Commodities, we prioritise sourcing our grain locally, working closely with trusted growers in our region. For grains that aren’t available locally, we extend our sourcing to reputable regions including Riverina/MIA, Goulburn Valley, Northern Victoria, Liverpool Plains, Northern NSW, and Southern Queensland. This careful selection ensures we maintain the highest quality in our products.
All manufacturing and packaging are done on-site, using state-of-the-art equipment. Our operations include a Petkus Multicleaner for thorough grain cleaning, a steam roller mill for producing steam-rolled products, a cracking mill for cracked grains, and a paddle mixer for creating custom grain mixes. We also have an automated bagging line and a robot bag stacker to ensure efficiency and precision in our packaging process. For manufacturing stockfeed pellets, we rely on the Palmer pellet press, which allows us to produce consistent, high-quality feed for our customers.
