Allied Grain Systems

Allied Grain Systems is a specialist in grain storage, grain handling and grain processing infrastructure, serving both on-farm and commercial grain operations across Australia. Its public materials position the business as an engineering-led provider of complete grain solutions rather than a simple machinery reseller, with capabilities spanning design, fabrication, installation, commissioning and system integration. The company says it has over 30 years of experience in grain storage and handling, and its official site presents it as one of Australia’s leading specialists in the space.

The business is especially relevant to grain growers, storage operators, processors and commercial grain sites because it works across the full flow path of grain infrastructure. Its public product and service range includes grain silos, augers, mobile belt conveyors, bucket elevators, drag chain conveyors, bunker unloading equipment, grain pumps, grain dryers, GrainVac systems, weighbridges, bulkweighers and fumigation-related equipment. That breadth makes Allied Grain Systems more than a silo supplier. It appears to operate as a broader grain-systems company focused on helping grain move efficiently, safely and with less quality loss from intake to storage, handling and outturn.

One of the strongest parts of the Allied Grain Systems profile is the way it straddles on-farm and commercial grain infrastructure. The official site clearly separates its offering into those two areas, with on-farm products built for growers and farm storage setups, and commercial products aimed at larger grain-handling and processing sites. On the commercial side, Allied also promotes engineering, structural steel fabrication and full project delivery, which suggests it is set up not only to supply components, but to build functioning grain facilities from concept through to operation.

Its engineering arm is one of the clearest signs that this is a serious grain-industry business. Allied says it provides 3D drafting, detailed design, engineering design services, engineering certification, project management, installation, commissioning and certification. The company also says it integrates civil, structural, mechanical and electrical systems into complete grain-handling sites. That kind of capability places it well beyond the level of a simple equipment dealer and into the category of specialist grain infrastructure provider.

The company also emphasises partnerships with established global grain-equipment brands. Allied says it is the exclusive Australian dealer for Ag Growth International (AGI) for parts of its silo and handling offer, and that it works with Hutchinson unloading systems and NECO processing technology. Through those partnerships, its site says it supplies solutions for cleaning, drying, aeration, monitoring and fumigation, alongside its own sealed silos and fumigation recirculation systems.

Grain quality protection is clearly a major part of the company’s pitch. Allied says it has developed its own sealed silos and fumigation recirculation systems, and that its sealing systems are backed by a five-year guarantee. The company also says this sealing technology has been independently recognised as one of the highest-performing systems in Australia. That matters for grain businesses because storage quality is not only about capacity; it is also about maintaining condition, reducing pest risk and protecting marketability over time.

Allied Grain Systems also appears to have meaningful standing in larger commercial grain infrastructure. Its engineering page says it is a two-time winner of Australia’s Bulk Handling Facility of the Year Award and names projects for businesses including Bunge, GrainCorp and T-Ports. Project pages on its website also reference work such as the T-Ports grain handling and silo installation project in South Australia and a major expansion for Malteurop Australia, where Allied says it designed, drafted and fabricated structural steel and delivered sealed silos built to Australian standards for fumigation. These examples suggest a business with practical credibility in both grower-scale and industrial-scale grain systems.

Its footprint is centred on Young, New South Wales and Toowoomba, Queensland. The official site lists those two locations, while official and industry sources indicate that the head office and metal fabrication workshop are in Young. Search and directory sources consistently place the Young operation at 41 Rockdale Road, Young NSW 2594. The official site clearly lists Toowoomba as a second branch, although the street address was not clearly published on the pages reviewed here.

The business has also changed in recent years at the ownership level. In July 2024, Grain Central reported that Allied Grain Systems had been acquired by Mitchells Group, a global bulk materials handling company. Allied’s LinkedIn profile now brands the business as “Allied Grain Systems – A Mitchells Company.” That acquisition adds another layer to the company’s position in the market, suggesting stronger access to international bulk-handling expertise while retaining its established place in Australian grain storage and handling.

Overall, Allied Grain Systems comes across as a substantial grain-industry business focused on the infrastructure that allows grain to be stored, protected, handled and processed efficiently. It is not a grain trader or a transport carrier. Its role is different, but highly important: it helps build the physical systems that support grain operations, from farm storage upgrades through to large commercial grain facilities.
