About Priefert Worldwide

For more than 50 years Priefert Manufacturing Company has been the leader in the USA in the Horse Stable and Equipment industry. A family run and owned business which started some 60 years ago with Eddie, the now President of Prieferts Grandfather, Marvin Priefert. The invention of an off-set plough enabled Marvin to move down to Texas to raise horses and cattle, where another invention was to change the Priefert path...the Head bale.

From there it has grown from a small back yard workshop into a 600 plus strong work force keeping up to 40 semi-trailers continuously delivering all year round. Priefert specializes in the Horse and Cattle industries. We also provide for day to day farm work with fencing, other various tools and dog equipment.
Priefert has been involved in some of Australia’s biggest equine developments in recent years, not only at an equipment supply level, but also in design consultancy (Click here to visit the Gallery).

This aspect of Priefert has them working with some of the worlds leading Equine Architects. The directors attribute Priefert Australia’s growing success to the fact that they are all still heavily involved in industries they provide for at a personal level.

So, as the old Priefert saying goes...”Built By The People Who Use It”
