Gavilon’s on-ground presence in Western Australia has vanished almost overnight.
Last week Farm Weekly was made aware the company’s Perth office was closed after Gavilon requested to cancel its future scheduled advertisements in the paper.
It was only in November 2010 that the US grain giant raided the trading arm of Australia’s largest grain handler and WA’s flagship grower-owned business CBH, securing the majority of the co-operative’s senior traders as it looked to establish a stronger presence in Perth.
In June 2011 Gavilon celebrated the opening of its WA office with a golf day, river cruise and cocktail function for clients and guests.
NOTE: Gavilon has been purchased by Marubeni.
