More capabilities, more product solutions and more places to source Rondo products. These are just some of the reasons why New Zealand customers and partners will benefit from Rondo’s recent acquisition.

Finalised in February, the deal will substantially grow Rondo New Zealand by providing them with additional manufacturing capacity and capability. In addition to their Christchurch manufacturing plant, Rondo have now moved into a new, larger Auckland site. The new site has given them increased manufacturing capabilities, new team members and an ability to supply an even greater range of wall and ceiling systems to the New Zealand market.

So how is this going to help designers and builders?
