What we do
We grow pyrethrum ( Chrysanthemum Cinerariiflolium ) here in New Zealand for the purpose of extracting the naturally occurring pyrethrins Pi, Pii, Ci, Cii, Ji and Jii for use in insect control products.
Why we do it
Because our world is drenched in synthetic chemicals. It is time for a change. We must learn to work with nature, not against her.
How we do it
Each batch of flower heads is extracted in solvent three times and then a concentrate is made via vacuum distillation into an inert phase. This inert phase can be tailored to suit the customers requirements – common phases are isopar, mono propylene glycol, coconut oil, naphtha, and vegetable oil.
Quality assured
Each batch is accurately analyzed using HPLC MS/MS and the concentration measured and adjusted to a 50% concentrate +/- 1%. An analytical certificate of purity can be issued for each batch which is clearly labelled with batch number and date of manufacture – thus ensuring lot traceability. Production records are kept for a minimum of 7 years, as per the requirements of satisfying an ISO 9001 quality system.
Who are our customers
We sell our own brand of insecticide PYNZ28 for home and industrial use and this has been very successful for us but our main focus is supplying industrial consumers with wholesale oil for use in their own manufacturing. We also specialize in supplying one off formulations particularly for the organic agriculture sector.
Why buy from us
We are committed to supplying you with the best product possible. Not just for you, but for the environment. We will offer you advice based on our years of experience of working with this product and give you options for your pyrethrum oil. Something you don’t get from other producers. We are equal opportunity employers and believe everyone is entitled to a living wage. We farm sustainably with the protection of the environment as one of our founding goals. You will be supporting an industry revolution as we attempt to bring 100% natural and biodegradable solutions to the market.
