ProjectWinstone Wallboards GIB Factory

Located in Tauranga’s Tauriko Business Estate – on a site over two and a half times the size of the current Penrose site – this new facility will ensure Winstone Wallboards is ideally placed to meet New Zealand’s future demand for plasterboard. Incorporating the latest global innovations in plasterboard manufacturing technology and automation, the full range of plasterboard products will be manufactured at the Tauriko facility. This, coupled with quicker change over times between products, will provide a greater degree of flexibility and boost Winstone Wallboards’ ability to respond rapidly to varying market demands.

The 12.7ha Tauriko development is home to one of the largest plasterboard manufacturing facilities in Australasia. With 63,000sqm of buildings, the site will provide 1.5 times the manufacturing capacity of Winstone Wallboards’ Auckland plant with scope for further expansion.

TSA Riley also provided the role of Programme Manager for the accompanying change project – working with the project team and Winstone Wallboards teams to deliver the four-year change programme.
