Primac Gurus

Primac Holdings Limited History

Welcome to the Primac Gurus website. Primac Holdings Limited was formed in 1975 from the merger of two great Queensland Stock & Station Agency Businesses, Queensland Primary Producers Co-Operative Association Ltd known as “Primaries” and Mactaggarts Primary Producers Co-Operative Association Ltd known as “Mactaggarts”. With this site and the Primac Gurus facebook group we are recording the history of Primaries Co-Operative formed in 1920 and Mactaggarts founded in the late 1880s, and merged in 1975 to form “Primaries Mactaggarts” and couple of years later the name was changed to “Primac”. This site sorts the available information into 3 main sections, Branch Timeline / Histories, Primac Gurus Bio / Histories and Gurus stories.

Primac Gurus Mission Statement

Primac Gurus Association Inc is an incorporated association fostered from a group of former employees of Primac Limited with a vision of preserving the history of the company, the people, and the towns / communities that Primac had a presence in.

We provide a digital platform for former Primac employees to connect on a regular basis, to foster companionship, social interaction and welfare amongst our members and their families.

We recognize the value of capturing the biographical recounts of our members journey and experiences of life in rural Queensland and the northern rivers region of New South Wales. We strive to digitally record this history and provide a lasting memory for members, family, friends and future generations.

We seek to raise charitable funds, through events, donations, and sponsorship with the intent of distributing funds back into rural Queensland communities.

Primac Gurus Association Inc encourages a forum that will always be respectful of the diversity of our membership, and the broader society. The Association further encourages all content, to be of a non-political, non-racist and non-religious nature.
