This November, our management team embarked on an exciting tour to visit our top European suppliers, explore product opportunities, and represent Allco at the renowned London Build Expo.

Visiting our Key Suppliers

Our journey began in Italy visiting Casali headquarters and factory, where our CEO Tony Broome, and our Technical Manager Branislav Dacijar, had the opportunity to explore future product developments, engage with Casali’s R&D team, and witness firsthand the innovation and expertise that goes into creating some of the industry’s leading waterproofing products.

Next, they visited CETCO Poland’s plant in Szczytno. As our longest-standing supplier, CETCO has played a pivotal role in Allco’s success, with their waterproofing products setting the industry standard. With over 100 million square of CETCO waterproofing systems installed globally, they have become the benchmark by which all other membranes are measured. Our visit underscored the exceptional partnership between Allco and CETCO as we look ahead to future projects together.

Our tour also included a stop at Shield Membranes, one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of waterproofing and roof finishes in the UK and the trusted supplier of our Mastic Asphalt, the latest product in our wide range. Made in Britain, Shield Membranes draws upon over 50 years of knowledge and experience in the roofing and construction industry, and during our visit, we had the opportunity to explore their state-of-the-art facilities and discuss exciting opportunities for collaboration.

London Build Expo 2024

The European tour culminated with the team attending the London Build Expo. Known as one of the leading construction events, the expo provided an excellent platform to connect with industry peers, explore the latest advancements in construction technology, and share insights on the future of waterproofing solutions. We were proud to attend the event alongside our long-standing partner, CETCO, and to have our very own product module on display.

Our module had quite the journey to get there, traveling from NZ to the London Expo and clocking approximately 21,450 kilometers!

Auckland to Munich: ~18,000 km
Munich – Ancona: ~600 km
Ancona – Munich: ~600 km
Munich – Warsaw: ~800 km
Warsaw – London: ~1,450

This incredible mileage showcases our commitment to delivering world-class solutions and showcasing it at the expo was one of the highlights of our trip.

Our European visit has been an invaluable experience, allowing us to deepen relationships with our suppliers, discover opportunities, and stay at the forefront of industry trends. At Allco, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the New Zealand market.
