Our Story

For the Smith brothers, the concept of innovation was forged at an early age. Their Grandfather, who toiled on his farm every day, identified an opportunity to make his daily work more efficient. He set his eyes on creating something that would improve how he operated. After many failed attempts and tweaks, his determination and grit saw him successfully invent the first self-propelled header.

Founded in 2011 by managing director Nick Smith, GTE Technology (then named Graintech Engineering) was born from a desire to advance the work practices of Australian agricultural manufacturers to ensure the food future in Australia is secure, efficient, and globally coveted.

Working alongside general manager Charles Smith, the business has undertaken various projects, from single machine manufacture to complete turnkey facilities with projects valued in the millions. GTE Technology proudly designs and manufactures equipment from its Australian regional headquarters in Ballarat, Victoria, based on its proprietary and patented IP.

With the Smith brothers at its helm, GTE Technology has always had a customer-focused philosophy, identifying the needs of producers and processors and meeting their production demands.
