Based in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, we're expanding globally with strong partnerships in Australia and the USA.
Building collaborative partnerships
Working closely with Hawk Group’s moulded fibre tray customers in New Zealand and Australia, as well as creating new partnerships in the USA, has allowed us to gain insights and become leaders in the production of post harvest horticulture automation technology.
We are committed to offering our customers a complete service that encompasses design, installation, automation and ongoing maintenance and improvements. We have already created strong partnerships with forward-thinking horticulture businesses to offer complete packhouse solutions.
Hawk Technology credit our strong ties to horticultural packaging company, Hawk Group, as a key benefit for gaining valuable insights into industry requirements and advancements.
Creating sustainable solutions
The onset of Covid-19 globally and an immediate need for solving worldwide labour shortages meant the food processing sector turned its focus to automation. Hawk Technology was established to complement the Hawk Group offering by fully focusing on the wider technology needed in the industry.
We developed our first Robotic Apple Packer to not only solve shortfalls in the labour market, but create more reliable, consistent and accurate packhouse processes with the ability to run longer hours with increased throughput and greater efficiencies.
Strong horticultural foundations
Hawk Technology began as an idea back in 2012 when Hawke’s Bay packaging company, Hawk Group, introduced automation into their own processing lines producing moulded fibre trays for fruit. Working directly with Hawk Group’s tray packaging customers in New Zealand and Australia, our team realised we had much more to offer in helping horticulture businesses to grow and improve their processes.
A focus on research and development
Born from Hawk Group’s high trust culture where ideas and innovation are encouraged, our engineers started developing equipment that would support their moulded fibre trays in the apple packing lines at customer facilities. Creating world-class, cutting-edge quality equipment became the focus of our team and a fresh, unencumbered look at the whole process was undertaken.
Hawk Technology are leaders in robotic packing solutions for post harvest horticulture. From design to installation, we offer cutting-edge solutions to maximise packhouse efficiencies and outputs for our customers worldwide.
