Milk
tankers
around
South
Taranaki
would
have
once
proudly
worn
these
evocative
stickers,
when
the
Egmont
Co-Operative
Dairy
Company
was
the
main
milk
company
in
the
area.
The
Egmont
Dairy
Company
was
established
in
1974
with
the
amalgamation
of
four
South
Taranaki
companies.
Egmont
itself
was
eventually
amalgamated
into
a
larger
company,
when
it
joined
Moa
Nui
in
1989.
David Knapman was the maintenance manager for the Egmont Dairy Company, and in 1983 he and his wife purchased the Pihama dairy factory. They turned the factory into a residential home, and David kept numerous souvenirs like this sticker of his time at the Egmont factory at their repurposed home.
