Northern Roller Milling Company Ltd
In 1888, Auckland Roller Mills Ltd was incorporated and a year later was amalgamated with Firth's
first eight-hour Roller Mill. In 1899 the company name was changed to the Northern Roller Milling Company, known today as NRM.
In the early days, the main objective of NRM was to manufacture flour from wheat. The wheat would
pass through a series of rollers and during this process of gradual reduction, flour is separated from
the by-products, bran and pollard, which were fed to stock. The first dedicated production of stock
feed took place in 1944.
In 1954 NRM installed its first press machine to make pelleted stock feed. In 1992, NRM ceased association with the flour milling business and became solely a stock feed and premix manufacturer.
