For more than 25 years, Proton Engineering Pty Ltd has been supporting farmers and rural industries with reliable engineering solutions from its base in Wee Waa. Proudly family owned and operated, the business has built a strong reputation for quality workmanship, dependable service, and specialist expertise in irrigation systems and gearbox repairs.
Founded in 1998 by Scott Tompkins and the late Chris Roden, Proton Engineering continues to carry forward the values and dedication established from the very beginning. Today, the business is operated by Chris’ wife Andrea and their son James, continuing the family legacy while supporting farming communities across the region.
Specialising in the building and servicing of irrigation pumps and gearboxes, Proton Engineering works with farmers throughout the New England region and as far north as the Queensland border. Their expertise has also seen them complete projects for customers further afield, including Lismore.
The team understands how vital reliable irrigation infrastructure is to day-to-day farming operations. Their work on river and bore pumps helps producers maintain consistent water supply for crops and livestock, keeping farms productive and operating efficiently throughout the seasons.
Alongside their local engineering services, Proton Engineering also owns Randolph Manufacturing Australia, a business specialising in servicing right-angled gear drives across Australia and New Zealand. This expanded reach reflects the company’s trusted reputation within the agricultural and engineering sectors.
With decades of experience and a strong connection to rural communities, Proton Engineering continues to deliver practical solutions that help keep Australian farms moving.
