Construction Booming As at November last year, there were 64 cranes on Auckland's skyline, more than 11 major American cities tracked by the RLB Crane Index. This gives credence to Building & Housing Minister Nick Smith’s contention that Auckland is growing by the equivalent of Whangarei every three years. Fortunately this positive growth is also being experienced around the rest of New Zealand. Reconstruction of road and rail links following the Kaikoura earthquakes is forecast to generate up to $2 billion worth of work and the economic boom is raising demand in other centres as well.

Please give your rep a call for more info or if you would like us to call in and see you.
Business Development Manager Role for Tony I have been appointed to the post of Business Development Manager. Its an amazing feeling to be able to progress up the ranks without having to leave the company that you love. This is a unique company and I knew that from the moment I walked in the door almost 10 years ago now. Since then I have been challenged in many various roles from managing the laundry tub production through into sales. And now perhaps the biggest challenge of all as we look to bring new products to market that will enhance our reputation as an innovative company and reward our customers who have always demanded more from us. I am excited about the new challenges ahead and the chance to help Aquatica to get to the next level. So come and join us on this journey as we aim to help make the shopping experience with your customers even easier and more rewarding.
POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL RAINHEADS
UltraFine uxury We have improved our 250mm square and round rainheads in both the ceiling & wall mount version. Previously these rainheads were made of a 2 piece ABS plastic which was chromed plated. We are now manufacturing the heads in highly polished stainless steel. The two sections of stainless steel are welded together and then machined to give them a polished finish. The new design is a much sturdier, sleeker looking product and it comes with rub clean shower nipples. These heads are currently Zero WELS rated, but we are having them tested to 3 Star low and mains pressure.
