WILEY GROWS
TO SERVICE
THE NZ FOOD
INDUSTRY
In late February 2019, Wiley
completed its acquisition of the
primary food processing design
and engineering consulting team
from Milmeq, New Zealand. The
acquisition saw the expansion of
Wiley’s services in New Zealand
and their first permanent presence.
Wiley has long enjoyed a
collaborative relationship with
Milmeq.
The specialised nature of
the team’s meat processing
knowledge and capabilities
coupled with support from the
broader global Wiley team creates
a new level of value for both
existing and new food industry
clients. The Wiley New Zealand
team are based in a new office
in Dunedin and their integration
into the Wiley business sees them
working across New Zealand,
Australia, the South Pacific and
South East Asia.
The food industry is changing
rapidly. Wiley pair best business
planning and strategic thinking
with highly technical food process
engineering expertise to deliver
world-class, customised solutions
so their clients can compete with
confidence.
Wiley’s Brandon Miller says:
“We are excited to have the
Milmeq team and their wealth
of experience on board. The
acquisition strengthened our
existing Wiley New Zealand
operations and our ability to
service our clients globally.
“We are visiting both Wiley and
Milmeq clients to ensure continuity
of service and support across the
food industry. We are also looking
forward to becoming further
integrated into the New Zealand
food landscape and developing
strong relationships across
industry,” Miller says.
Wiley’s service suite includes
business advisory, design, process
engineering, construction and
delivery for food manufacturing
facilities in Australasia and while
they are based in Dunedin, will
service the whole of New Zealand.
