History in Australia
Agfa's presence in Australia dates back to 1925 when Henry H. York and Company successfully negotiated the agency to sell Agfa products. In New Zealand Henry York sold Agfa products after establishing offices in the 1950s.
In 1961 the York family invoked a provision of an agreement with Agfa whereby they could call on the German shareholders to purchase the family's shares at a price calculated in accordance with an agreed formula. Thus closed a chapter in the Australian history of the company we know today.
Gevaert's representation in Australia began in the early 1960s. In anticipation of a united Europe, Agfa AG and Belgium's leading photographic firm, Gevaert Photo-Producten NV, merged to form the Agfa-Gevaert Group. As a result, Agfa-Gevaert Limited was formed in Australia in 1964; a wholly owned subsidiary of the parent company. Agfa-Gevaert New Zealand Limited was also established in the 1960s.
In 2000 Agfa-Gevaert Limited and Agfa-Gevaert N.Z. Limited became one operation to cover Oceania. The new approach has strengthened Agfa's presence in the Pacific and positions the company well to support the needs in this expanding market.
