About Us
WMI came into being in April of 2009, when father and son, Wayne and Jason Willie took over Carroll's Manufacturing Industries. Jason had previously completed his apprenticeship in engineering and fabrication with Carroll's and was heavily involved in the design and production of their Albybone and Pa-Mick bale feeders, along with other farm machinery.
We currently employ 13 staff members, including two apprentices, and our products are sold through a variety of leaders, in locations such as Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, Western Australia, and Tasmania.
At WMI, we listen to our customers, and utilise feedback from farmers in the design and production of new machines, catering to the needs of various farming operations.
