Glaxo Factory, Bunnythorpe

Description

Joseph Nathan Co. Ltd began dried milk production in Bunnythorpe in 1904. This building of concrete and wood replaced the smaller factory of corrugated iron constructed in 1906. 'Glaxo' became the brand name for Nathan's baby milk product and Glaxo Laboratories was formed in 1937. The factory continued operating until 1973, when Glaxo centred all their production at Botanical Road, Palmerston North.
