Company History
When Bob Youngman and Tim Richardson pooled their resources in 1981 to start their own business, they had a clear picture in mind of what they intended to do. From experience as employees of a Wellington based importer and distributor of machinery, they saw a gap in the market for providing a genuine service that put the customer first.
With this high level of personal service, they were committed in representing worldwide brand leaders so that the quality and reliability of equipment was the finest possible, and the inventory of genuine spare parts was comprehensive, allowing them to provide the best service in the business. The company’s initial agencies were Subaru/Robin (engines and pumps), Denyo (generators), Edco (concrete surfacing equipment), and general compaction equipment. The company’s list of new agencies continues to grow, and today we supply equipment that covers over 13 product categories.
To provide back-up to our comprehensive range of specialised contracting and industrial machines, equipment and tools we carry over 38,000 genuine spare part components.
Brands
We represent world-leading brands that are built on advanced technology and proven reliability.
Within the Concrete Floor Preparation area we offer genuine Husqvarna products including equipment and chemicals.
