  • Corys History

From humble
beginnings

When Cory-Wright & Salmon was first established in 1920, New Zealand was undergoing major transformation. Telephone lines were being strung
across the country and railway systems were being built, which helped to improve communication and transport. The uses and benefits of electricity were starting to be realised, something the government was preparing for through the development of hydroelectric dams.

More people were moving to live in towns and the motor car was just beginning to replace the horse and cart. Cars made a huge difference to country folk in the 1920’s and 1930’s. They had a higher rate of automobile ownership than urban dwellers. The end of World War 1 saw the beginning of explosive growth of the use of electricity at home and in the workplace.

Silston Cory-Wright and Cedric Salmon had anticipated these changes and their business was founded on the procurement of specialist equipment needed to enable these transformations to take place. As working engineers, they did more than procuring the equipment.

For example, after Silston Cory-Wright had negotiated the sale of the first six turbines needed for Lake Coleridge Hydroelectric Dam, he was then also required to supervise the installation and maintenance of the three initial units. This was due to the Germanborn Swiss installing the turbines being interned at the beginning of the First World War.

As we celebrate Corys doing business in New Zealand for over 100 years, the impact of Cory-Wright & Salmon is foremost in our minds. And that hands-on, can-do attitude combined with technical know-how remains a part of Corys culture today.
