Description

It is thought this image, of a vat is being prepared for distribution, was taken at the Ashley Street site of Berry Engineering (then trading as Mauri Engineering) in Palmerston North. During the 1980s it became Protech Engineering and was situated in Railway Road.

Berry Engineering was established in 1907 by Mr Edwin Berry, in Main Street, as E. D. Berry General Engineer. As they grew, they moved to Ferguson Street, then to Ashley Street, and sons Frank, Zean and Edwin Jnr joined the business. They manufactured a wide variety of industrial equipment, and were particularly involved with the dairy industry over the years.

More images in this series are held. Please ask staff if interested.
