Wynnstay offers a range of products and services to farmers and rural dwellers throughout Wales, the Midlands, South West and North England.

Wynnstay was founded in 1918 by tenant farmers of the local Wynnstay estate and was formally constituted as a farmers' co operative shortly afterwards. Over the succeeding decades, the organisation steadily grew.

Through a series of mergers, acquisitive growth and conversion to a Plc, the business has developed into a major supplier of products and services, across many parts of the UK, to the evolving agricultural industry and the rural economy. The business is further strengthened by a number of complementary joint ventures and associate companies.
