So FG thought stuff it and built Southwire and took Hurricane & Cyclone head on.

Southwire is now Southfence in Hornby, I spent 10yrs in electric fencing with Pel Industries which was right next door to Southwire. FG's son Peter Ullrich was ceo of Pel, after 10yrs there I transferred to Southwire/Southfence for 4yrs before becoming redundant, reason for that was Southfence had been bought out by Eurocorp so I was no longer distribution manager and relegated back to factory work so I said see ya later. FG's other son John Ullrich was ceo of a wire firm in Fiji and in Melbourne, both Peter & John hated each other and weren't communicating. John has 2 sons Mark & someone, both are twins. FG died years ago now, Pel got bought out by Tru Test in Auck whom bought out Cyclone, the Ullrich family never owned Cyclone, that move put Southfence into direct opposition with Cyclone therefore Southfence & Tru Test fell out. This slowly led to Southfence selling everything to Eurocorp whom owns the largest amount of deer/sheep netting machinery and other wire product machinery in the Southern hemisphere. Great firms to work for they were...best job I had for 14yrs, I was well looked after!.

And in the 70s I worked a draughtsman for Desmond Barry Black at Eclipse Wire in Palmerston North, also manufactured in Hastings and Hamilton. Much of the machinery was German that came to NZ after the war. Interesting to watch in operation.

What ARE you talking about??????????
