During the challenge of COVID-19, the team at Godfrey Hirst continued to work closely with customers

Buying ‘New Zealand Made’ has truly never been more important. During the challenge of COVID-19, the team at Godfrey Hirst continued to work closely with customers, in order to provide strong business continuity and ongoing support, as well as supporting their local community.

With multiple manufacturing facilities in New Zealand, a distribution center/warehouse and carpet manufacturing plant in Auckland, a yarn plant in Dannevirke, wool spinning plants in Lower Hutt and Oamaru, and regional sales offices nationwide, when customers buy a Godfrey Hirst carpet they are inadvertently supporting over 400 Kiwis and their families.

New Zealand facilities

Thousands of meters of carpet are produced in their state-of-the-art New Zealand facilities every day, and both their carpet and hard flooring set the safe, comfortable and beautiful interior foundation for millions of homes.

Commercially, their customization capabilities and a vast archive of designs are trusted for major projects in all market segments across the workspace, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, public space and multi-residential buildings in New Zealand, Australia and around the world.
