Iveco is investing in the New Zealand commercial vehicle market with works underway on a new multimillion dollar facility in South Auckland.
The new Wiri site will incorporate the company’s New Zealand head office along with a dealership offering sales, service and parts for the full Iveco range of vans, trucks and minibuses.
Covering 11,444 square meters, the facility also includes 1400 square meters of warehouse for Iveco parts coverage.
The introduction of a new state-of-the-art service area with 10 truck bays will also benefit customers by reducing servicing times.
Other features of the new headquarters include truck wash facilities, vehicle showroom and a customer lounge.
Iveco Australia business director Bruce Healy says the company saw many ongoing opportunities in New Zealand and was keen to invest in the market.
“Iveco has enjoyed multi-digit sales growth in New Zealand in recent years and we recognise the importance of continued investment in New Zealand.
“Increasingly New Zealanders are trusting Iveco to handle a greater range of their transport and logistics needs, so we are working hard to repay this trust by providing them with the best services and facilities possible.
“The new site will not only go a long way to delivering a superior service to customers and prospects in the greater Auckland area but also more broadly right across the country, particularly in terms of our ability to increase local parts holdings for faster distribution to customers,” Healy says.
The new site is expected to be complete by October 1 and will employ around 45 people.
