At Barkuma, we are excited to celebrate our longstanding partnership with Selecta, a collaboration that has been thriving since we first joined forces in November 2007. This partnership has not only allowed us to manufacture high-quality products but has also empowered our team to grow, learn, and create meaningful connections along the way.
Our journey began with a humble selection of hardware outlets, such as Home Hardware, Golden Grove Supplies, and Mitre10, where we manufactured our first six variations of wheelbarrows and garden rollers on behalf of Selecta.
Evolution of a Transformative Partnership with Selecta
This initial step laid the groundwork for what would become a transformative partnership. By 2012-2013, Selecta had expanded their offerings with a dedicated area in Bunnings, showcasing a new range of exclusive products, including 16 wheelbarrow variations, carts, and garden rollers.
As we continued to evolve together, the product lines flourished. By 2019, we proudly manufactured an impressive array of 20 wheelbarrow variations and six cart variations, alongside various garden sprayers.
With each passing year, our collaboration with Selecta has allowed us to innovate and enhance their inventory, ensuring we deliver top-notch products that meet the needs of our customers.
In 2025, the company streamlined the product lines to 14 wheelbarrow variations and complemented them with a diverse selection of carts and garden rollers. Additionally, we now carry and dispatch over 20 different products, which include spare parts, garden sprayers, animal enclosures, loading ramps, and more.
Empowering Our Team Through Skills Development
Our dedicated team meticulously assembles, picks, and dispatches all products for Bunnings locations across South Australia and even into Alice Springs. Each order reflects our dedication to quality craftsmanship and teamwork in manufacturing on behalf of Selecta.
What brings us the most joy is witnessing our team thrive in the Selecta area. Through this partnership, our employees are gaining valuable skills, including hand-eye coordination, effective communication, and the proficient use of equipment.
The work they do here goes far beyond just assembling products; it fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment. We take great delight in knowing they can share their contributions with family and friends, proudly stating, “We made that at work!”
As we look ahead, we remain committed to nurturing this incredible partnership. We are excited to continue supporting Selecta and expanding our collaboration, creating more opportunities for new team members to embark on this rewarding journey with us.
Thank you, Selecta, for being an exceptional partner. Together, we are not just manufacturing products; we are building dreams, fostering growth, and shaping futures – one wheelbarrow at a time!
Here’s to many more years of successful collaboration!
