New Zealand

The New Zealand office officially established in Penrose in 1937. The company's first major contract was for the exterior walls of the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition in Wellington in 1940. From the 1940s to 1981, the New Zealand plant went through several upgrades and additions in its manufacturing facilities.

In the mid-1980s, James Hardie pioneered the development of asbestos-free fibre cement technology, and began designing and manufacturing a wide range of fibre cement building products that made use of the benefits that came from the product's durability, versatility and strength.

James Hardie New Zealand have been providing Kiwi customers with smart building products made for our conditions for over 83 years. LineaWeatherboard was developed and perfected right here in New Zealand. It’s a proven product that has been used by builders for the past 20 years and is now offered in overseas markets.

With James Hardie building products, you have the opportunity to develop your own style, using one of the most space efficient and durable building materials available.
