AuctionsPlus was founded in 1987, initially established by the Australian Meat and Livestock Corporation in conjunction with the University of New England. Back then, it was known as CALM, Computer Aided Livestock Marketing, and officially began trading on 1 July 1987.
That first sale was a true innovation: it required two kilometres of telecoms cable and a generator just to power the fax machines. This pioneering spirit set the tone for the decades that followed.
In 1996, following a major industry restructure, CALM was purchased by Elders, Landmark and Ruralco and rebranded as CALM Services Pty Ltd, before officially becoming AuctionsPlus in 2000.
Today, AuctionsPlus is jointly owned by Elders and Nutrien, and continues to connect Australian agriculture through trusted digital marketplaces, data, and innovation.
