Company Profile

Benparts was established in February 1986 by John Bennett. Since its establishment Benparts has provided modern, high quality, high technology goods and services to clients to enable them to operate in a sustainable, efficient and profitable manner. Problem solving and finding solutions to enable efficient operation is our priority and we endeavour to ensure clients are receiving the best possible outcomes for their individual irrigation needs.

In April 2022 Paul and Kirstie Croser purchased a share of the business and continue to work with John on growing the business across the stae.

At all times Benparts is seeking new ways to achieve its vision in the supply of pumps, pivots, diesel engines, electric motors, automatic control systems, remote monitoring and ancillary components. This is achieved with the design and installation of new systems, upgrade of existing systems and the repairs and maintenance of operational units.

Benparts provides services from the water source to the application of the water, being responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of the systems. Benparts aims to complete all processes in house without the use of sub contactors to enable a total systems approach. Benparts are licenced electrical contractors, have a welding shop, a repair shop, a crane, a telehandler and a wide range of tools and equipment.

Automation is a speciality of Benparts which enables the remote operation and monitoring of irrigation and stock water systems using the internet and Apps which are easily accessible on smart phones, tablets and computers. This is achieved by notifications being sent via Alerts, SMS or Email. Diesel and electric pumps and generators for irrigation and stock water systems can be started automatically without being on site. The operation of the system can then be remotely monitored with status and alarms being delivered automatically. Much of the equipment used to deliver these services has been developed in house with Benparts operating its own computer server and web-based software. As we complete all programming in house, many custom installations have been developed satisfying the individual needs of clients.

Benparts has two branches located in Adelaide, SA and Bordertown, SA.

Benparts happily services all areas of Australia.

John spent his early working career as a teacher in several rural South Australian towns. However, an underlying passion for water and electronics eventually led him to leave the teaching profession and move into the irrigation field. John has never looked back since starting his own business, Benparts Irrigation over 30 years ago. 

With a dedication to supplying customers with the very best irragation design, systems and follow up service, John has built a loyal customer base that spans the country. John has a 'never give up' attitude that will not be beaten! No challenge is too big or small! If you have undulating paddocks, varying soil types, questions about choosing the right pump to suit your water quality, waste water mangement solutions and even installing fire retardent sprinklers then John will find the answer.

John ensures he spends the time to really understand the needs and goals of his customers to ensure the ulitmate end result for all projects. His passion and dedication to supplying a 'Complete Project Management Service' and the very latest in remote monitoring technology is the Benparts 'point of difference' that John is most proud of.

John’s wife Marg has been a source of constant support and encouragement throughout the journey of the business. Together that have two beautiful daughters and four grand-children who they enjoy spending time with whenever they can.

When not at work you can find John relaxing by the River Murray or fishing at the beach......never far from water!

Paul has been a valued member of the Benparts team since March 2016. With a 20-year background as a diesel mechanic, he was eager for a change that would allow him to apply his mechanical expertise while learning new skills to better serve his local community. He quickly found his passion in the irrigation industry, taking to the field like a ‘duck to water.’ Paul enjoys the variety of his work, especially traveling across the state, meeting new people, and understanding their irrigation needs.

While managing the Bordertown branch of Benparts, Paul undertook and completed an adult electrical apprenticeship. His extensive mechanical experience, combined with his growing electrical expertise, has been a valuable asset to the team—ensuring that customers in the South East have access to a skilled irrigation service technician in their region.

In April 2022, Paul and his wife Kirstie became co-owners of Benparts, with Paul stepping into the role of Co-Director alongside John. While he continues to develop his business management skills, his passion remains in the field, spending most of his days working with pivots and pumps.

Outside of work, Paul enjoys motorbike riding, skiing on the Murray River, watching his children play sports, and catching up with mates

Kirstie joined the Benparts team to manage social media and marketing, bringing with her a diverse background spanning the dental and aged care industries, product management, and self-managed superannuation. Always eager for new challenges, she has embraced her evolving role within the business.

After acquiring a share in Benparts alongside her husband, Paul, Kirstie took on greater responsibilities, now overseeing accounts and office management.

Passionate about her local community, Kirstie is actively involved in sporting committees and her children's school governing council. In her spare time, she enjoys watching her children play sports, umpiring netball, water sports, traveling overseas, and spending time with friends—often with a glass of bubbles in hand!
