1990s

Geoff Taylor designed and manufactured some of the region's earliest wine tanks for Montana and many of the pioneering wine companies. By the 1990s, with the wine industry well and truly established, he began to develop other products including the tipping bin and wine tank.

The tipping bin is an electrically powered, hydraulic grape bin, which gives the operator full control over the rate of tipping into the crusher.
