The 2025 milestone
John Deere
Partner Status.
First in New Zealand.
480/500
PTS ScoreAcross quality, delivery, process alignment, value creation, relationship, safety, IT integration, and sustainability.
In April 2026, CEO Ray Roberts and owner Scott Miers travelled to John Deere’s Moline, Illinois facility to accept Partner Status in its 2025 Achieving Excellence programme. Partner Status is the highest tier John Deere awards its suppliers globally.
PTS scored 480 out of 500 across eight assessment categories and became the first New Zealand supplier to achieve the recognition. For us, it’s external validation of the standards our team works to every day.

The long view.
Built over five decades.
PTS started in Palmerston North in 1976. Fifty years later, we’re still New Zealand owned and still headquartered here. The difference is that today we’ve got branches from Whangarei to Invercargill, a 25,000m² warehousing operation and teams moving freight and vehicles right across the country.
A lot has changed in 50 years. The basic job hasn’t. Do what you said you’d do, when you said you’d do it.
- 1976.It started with one truck. Palmerston Tow Services began in Palmerston North with one truck and one trailer.
- 1991.A clearer direction. The towing side was sold as the business shifted its focus to line-haul transport.
- 1996.Vehicle transport expanded with the purchase of Auto Movements, which would go on to become Auto Logistics.
- 2006.Years of growth expanded PTS well beyond Palmerston North, building vehicle transport capability across New Zealand.
- 2015.A new chapter. Scott and Vicki Miers took sole ownership of PTS Group, keeping the business 100% New Zealand owned.
- 2024.PTS relocated its Palmerston North operation to El Prado Drive, with 25,000m² of warehousing facility.
- 2026.Fifty years, and a New Zealand first. PTS became the first New Zealand supplier to achieve John Deere Partner Status.
