IMPRESSIVE OUTCOMES
EXTENSIVE TRIALS
“Continued observations and crop monitoring at two South Australian netted orchard trial sites at Loxton (apples) and Pyap (citrus) suggest there are numerous benefits to investing in permanent netting of tree crops. These benefits extend well beyond traditional crop protection benefits.
Information and data being gathered include the effect netting has on mitigating hail damage, the incidence and effect of frost events, canopy structure and leaf area, fruitfulness, fruit quality and grade by variety. These monitored outcomes are being measured against crop water use, nutrient inputs and the efficacy of integrated pest management (IPM).
As the project progresses, the summary findings are enabling the development of cost-benefit analyses that consider the worth of the system against the total cost of investment in the netting infrastructure.”

Success Stories
Mazda Australia Pty Ltd
Mazda Australia has been the leading full line importer of motor vehicles into Australia for nearly a decade. Selling over 100,000 vehicles annually, our business requires multiple vehicle storage and logistic solutions nationally.
To this end Mazda Australia has a requirement that all of our vehicles stored at any of our Vehicle Distribution facilities need to be under a hail net. Mazda has a long term relationship with Netpro and a strong relationship with the local Netpro team headed by Michael Pradella and Justin Murray.
Our new state of the art transport, storage and logistics facility in Pinkenba, Qld was recently developed wth support from the Netpro team. Late last year we again utilised Netpro’s experience to assist with our facility at Port Kembla, NSW which had been impacted by storm activity resulting in significant damage to our existing hail net.
I would have no hesitations in recommending Netpro as a supplier of hail net and Shade cloth protection solutions.
