Searles Company History

Over the next five years, the business expanded and grew at a rapid pace. Many new products were produced and J.C. & A.T. Searle Pty Ltd was appointed as a distributor of a wide range of home gardening products. Sales expanded to encompass all of Queensland including the Far North Qld, Darwin in NT, Western NSW and the North Coast of NSW from Tweed Heads down to Newcastle.

The operation outgrew the one acre site at Caloundra and at one stage, was operating from five different sites in the Caloundra district. Available space ran out. More land was required for the company to continue to expand and service our valued clients.

Con and Jenny purchased a very large parcel of industrial land at Kilcoy in Southeast Qld and it was decided to move the operations from Caloundra to the new Kilcoy site.  The relocation took all of four years to complete. The new site was engineered and constructed specially to suit our operations.

A very diverse and effective water catchment, tree planting and dam building scheme was completed which is a major part of our total environmental management plan. Tree planting saw the reintroduction of many native bird and animal species onto the manufacturing site and the dams were stocked with native fish species.

The necessary factories, storage warehouse and office facilities were built to facilitate an expanding range and demand for Searles® branded products.

Today, Searles manufacture and distribute Searles branded products Australia wide and to valued overseas customers.  Searles now employs approximately 75 personnel, including administration, sales, research, technical, design, production, warehousing and distribution staff.

We are certain your experiences with Searles products will be rewarding and they are products which you can trust.
