Description

The New Zealand Dairy Farmers Union established this factory in 1893. It was bought by Joseph Nathan Co. Ltd who began the first dried milk operations in New Zealand. 'Glaxo' became the brand name for their 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.
