Padman Automation Returns Home

We have exciting news to share — Padman Automation is now back under the care of the Padman Family.

We acknowledge that the past few years have brought challenges and disruptions. Some of you experienced delays, service issues, or uncertainty — and we want to thank you sincerely for your patience and understanding throughout this time. 

This is more than a change in ownership. It’s a renewed commitment to doing things the right way — the Padman way. A commitment to delivering simple, reliable, water-saving automation solutions that truly support the needs of Australian farmers. That’s what Padman Automation was built on, and that’s exactly where we’re heading again.
With fresh leadership, strong foundations, and a clear direction, we are now focused on building trust and delivering value. You’ll start to see this in how we show up, how we communicate, and most importantly, how our products perform in the field. 

We’re re-energised, focused, and determined. The hard work is already underway. Our number one goal is to support you — our customers — with the professionalism, reliability and care you expect from a true Farmer Friend. 

We look forward to what’s ahead — and we’re excited to take this next step forward with you.

We’ve spent 36 years standing beside farmers — and now, we’re more focused than ever on delivering the automation solutions that make your life easier. You have our commitment that we’ll deliver with integrity, consistency, and a relentless focus on doing what’s right for farmers.

Warm regards,


Shawn Padman
