OUR STORY

Welcome to TopmaQ. We are a New Zealand owned business that has been operating here for over 30 years. Our focus is to provide quality gear, equipment & machinery for Industry at affordable trade pricing direct to the public. We import directly from the manufacturer, selling straight to you. By doing so we save our customers on costs that normally go to middle-man suppliers. We operate out of our own warehousing with 5 stores in major centres nationwide.

1987

In it’s infancy in 1987, the business was acquired and operated as a small engineering firm called Saw & Tool Services Ltd, specialising in sharpening knives, blades and cutters, and employing three staff in central Christchurch.

1995

As the business developed, we began experimenting in importing equipment from overseas and soon grew to a sixteen-person team, handling not only the engineering side of the business, but also the sales and marketing of new imported equipment.

2003

After a name change to TopmaQ in 2003, we sold the engineering part of the business on to focus our energy on importing. We soon established our second 600sqM branch in Dunedin to fulfill demand at the lower half of the South Island.

2007

In 2007, we built a new head office in Wigram, Christchurch with a 3000sqM warehouse capable of handling and distributing all imported products. Soon our central Christchurch branch was relocated to the neighbouring site of our new warehouse to make the operation a convenient one-stop-shop.

2012

With a strong presence in the South Island, our ambition was to expand into the North Island, so in 2012 we built a new 3000sqM third branch in Mangere, Auckland, which was also capable of handling imported products directly from overseas and distributing in the North Island.

2015

We established a fourth branch in Timaru. Nationwide, our team grew to 25 staff, eager to look for more opportunities to expand our growing business to keep up with increasing demand.

2018

After fielding numerous requests from our North Island customers, our brand new Hamilton store was built and opened in the rapidly growing Te Rapa area. It boasts a large 1200sqM floor display area and services the greater Waikato area.

2019

With the launch of our brand new website, a key shift in focus to providing the best online and in-store experience possible has become the forefront of our mission to deliver the best gear for industry.

2021

Thanks to our loyal and ever-growing customer base, our business was very fortunate to experience significant growth during the Covid-19 Pandemic period. This resulted in the original Christchurch store moving to a new purpose-built location at 280 Main South Road, Hornby. In addition, construction of our 9000m2 Head Office and nationwide distribution centre began, based in the Christchurch Airport Industrial Park.
