Bonfiglioli New Zealand cuts the ribbon at new premises

Bonfiglioli New Zealand has officially opened its new headquarters in Mangere, Auckland. The company celebrated its relocation to its new facility, at 32 Sistema Way in Mangere, on 3 April 2025, when Bonfiglioli Australia and New Zealand MD Martin Broglia led a ribbon-cutting event.

“The relocation of the New Zealand branch to this new address marks a significant milestone, not just because this is a move into state-of-the-art facilities in a prime location, but because it is the culmination of hard work and commitment,” he said. “This new facility will allow the New Zealand team to further expand its offering to a growing customer base, and ensure these customers continue to get comprehensive and prompt service.”

Bonfiglioli New Zealand was established in 2004. Over the following years, the business grew, and in 2006, Bonfiglioli New Zealand entered an agreement to lease warehouse space from distributor SAECOWilson — located at 88 Hastie Avenue in Mangere. To support the company’s expansion, stock and staff levels were increased, and a full assembly program was initiated. Eventually, Bonfiglioli’s activities had taken over half of the distributor’s premises and after 17 years at Hastie Avenue, it was time for Bonfiglioli New Zealand to secure its own premises.

In 2023, the New Zealand team relocated to its brand-new facility in Auckland, featuring a warehouse space of approximately 1200 m², and almost 170 m² of modern office space.

“The workshop is equipped with five jib cranes, a paint booth and a parts washer, three assembler workstations, as well as factory-supplied assembly and testing machines,” said New Zealand Country Manager Paul Savage.

Within the new facilities, Bonfiglioli New Zealand has the capabilities to assemble its complete CAFS gearbox range, which covers inline helical, helical bevel and parallel helical gearmotors, with a torque range between 100 and 14,000 Nm. It also assembles the VF W worm series, with a torque range from 13 to 2000 Nm. “We also have an extensive stock holding of the 300 Series planetary range, and offer local assembly of this range, up to 105 kNm,” Savage added.

“The New Zealand branch has consistently pursued excellence and innovation, and puts customers at the heart of its efforts,” Broglia said. “I hope Paul and the team enjoy many prosperous years at this new premises.”
