Inkerman Lime and Gypsum stands as a celebrated business which has been operating in the region since 1932. In 2006, couple Joe and Rosetta Tama took ownership of Inkerman Lime and Gypsum, which has since become a family business with their son, Robert Tama now the manager, following in his parents’ footsteps.
“My father has always been interested in investing in projects that he believed had great potential,” explained Robert.
“When he saw the possibilities and benefits of Inkerman Lime and Gypsum in improving soil quality using natural-based products, he recognised the opportunity to help not only farming land but also soils in general in the district and surrounding areas.”
Robert began working alongside his father in 2018, whilst continuing to manage his family’s farm. A couple of years later, Robert assumed full control of Inkerman Lime and Gypsum, and continues to balance both the business and the farm.
“One of the best highlights over the years has been the opportunity to communicate with customers and build friendships, and interacting with customers who have years of experience and local knowledge has been a great way to learn and provide assistance,” expressed Robert.
“I believe that no matter how old we get, there is always something new to learn, and interacting with others allows us to gain new knowledge over time.”
Robert manages the business with a focus on delivering exceptional customer service and finds great fulfilment in witnessing the long-term results of improving their customer’s soil quality and yield.
Moving forward in his management position, Robert envisions Inkerman Lime and Gypsum entering a new era of growth and innovation over the next decade and believes the upcoming changes will honour their continued dedication towards enhancing soil health and maximising crop yields for their customers.
“We plan to upgrade our equipment, introduce innovative product blends, provide comprehensive staff training and will collaborate with local agronomists and our growers to elevate and upgrade our services further,” explained Robert.
“We invite everyone to join us on this journey towards better soil health and increased productivity.”
