Head Office & Factory, Whangarei, New Zealand |
Hansen
Products manufactures Polythene Pipe Fittings, Threaded Pipe Fittings,
Garden Hose Fittings and a range of Valves for the Agricultural, Horticultural,
Marine, Engineering, Commercial and Domestic markets. Wherever fluid is
needed to be moved Hansen make a product to meet that need. Early in our
growth we used contractors to produce our products using Hansen tools."We
had all sorts of problems", recalls Bert Hansen. "Things really
turned around when we bought our first moulding machine". We export to Australia, Europe, North America, Asia and Papua New Guinea and are
building strong markets in these areas. Our forecast is to double our
output over the next two years. |

 A transition from
the old to the new. This early Foot Valve was manufactured by Hansen Products
in the 1950's and relaunched as a part of the new Valves range of plastic
fittings in 1996. |
Hansen's
valves and pipe fittings have been working for New Zealanders for over
40 years and are winning a world market. It all started in the 1950's.
Bert Hansen was building a house and couldn't find a reliable toilet valve.
Bert, an engineer, invented one and from there Hansen Products has grown
through similar new inventions such as our Polythene Pipe Fitting. The
founder's son Carl Hansen, an engineer, is now Technical Director of the
company. Growth based on innovative design that meets market needs is continued under the direction of Graeme Kerr, Managing Director. Hansen Products plant is
located in the northern part of New Zealand in Whangarei city. Whangarei
has a stable labour force that permits Hansen to maintain its internal
technical skills and quality standards that have been built up over the
years. |
