Gallagher Animal Management is proud to announce the establishment of its new sales and service office in Brazil, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion across Latin America. This strategic move strengthens Gallagher’s commitment to supporting the region’s agricultural and livestock sectors with cutting-edge animal management solutions.

With this new office, Gallagher will provide local farmers and agribusinesses with direct access to its range of innovative technologies, including advanced electric fencing, virtual fencing, livestock weighing and electronic identification (EID) systems, pest control, data collection, and satellite liquid monitoring systems. The local presence will enable faster response times, enhanced customer support, and a deeper understanding of the specific needs of Brazilian producers.

“This new office will allow us to better serve our growing customer base in Brazil and across Latin America,” says Lisbeth Jacobs, Chief Executive at Gallagher Animal Management. “We are excited to bring our world-leading animal management solutions closer to the heart of one of the most dynamic agricultural markets in the world.”

The Gallagher expansion into Brazil comes at a good time as farmer confidence showing signs of recovering, with beef exports surging after a tough 2023 in which Brazil experienced serious drought and challenging economic conditions. Hamish Wiig, GM – Latam, Asia, Middle East, and Africa notes that “Gallagher is making a long-term commitment to the Brazilian farmer by providing a reliable supply of high-quality animal fencing, weighing, and EID solutions, no matter what challenges arise.”

“In addition many Brazilian farming groups already run highly sophisticated operations where turning data into intelligence for better decision-making is part of their day-to-day. Gallagher’s ever-expanding product portfolio offers farmers significant benefits as they look to optimize animal and land performance and deliver solutions that make precision farming easier.”

As part of Gallagher’s long-term investment in the region, the new office will also foster relationships with local distributors, technology partners, and industry stakeholders, helping to drive sustainable and profitable farming practices throughout Brazil. The company sees enormous potential for growth and innovation in the region’s livestock sector and is committed to providing solutions that enhance productivity, animal welfare and land management.

The announcement comes as part of Gallagher’s participation in the New Zealand Trade Mission to Brazil, led by New Zealand Minister for Trade and Agriculture, Hon Todd McClay, further highlighting the company’s role in strengthening New Zealand-Brazil trade relations and supporting the agriculture industry through leading-edge technologies.

“New Zealand has a global reputation for developing world-leading technology. I believe there is huge potential for New Zealand companies to add value and impact to Brazil’s agricultural sector with innovation that increases efficiency and productivity,” says Minister for Trade and Minister for Agriculture, Hon Todd McClay.

“Gallagher Animal Management’s expansion into the Brazil market is a great example of a pioneering kiwi company that is meeting the needs of farmers globally and I am pleased that they are embracing new opportunities in this major market.”

Gallagher invites all media, partners, and customers to learn more about the company’s solutions and its vision for the future of animal and land management in Brazil.
