Project Management & Installation

Your project is in good hands with us – we provide excellent project handling to make sure you get good value for money.

Leave the rollout to us

You can leave all aspects of the project management to our experts. Each installation project will usually involve a project manager and several installation technicians. We will liaise with you about timing and access to the premises. For the rest, we’ll do everything to install and commission the equipment.

We’ll ensure that disruptions are kept to an absolute minimum and will oversee the whole process, so that you can concentrate on your business. All you must do, is to stock the shelves or move in!

We have secure, efficient, and well-managed warehousing to ensure that our cases arrive at your store in perfect condition. It also means you can get spare parts quickly when you need them. McAlpine Hussmann has warehouses in Australia, New Zealand and China and share logistics facilities with partner companies in South-East Asia, India, the Middle East and South Africa.

Service and Maintenance

We offer the most comprehensive nationwide coverage in the industry backed by highly trained technicians and extensive maintenance systems and programs.

You get access to round the clock service

Upfront capital cost is the smallest component in the whole of life ownership equation. Having a responsive, local team and support network in place is therefore critical for any business. Whether your company is small or very large, we have the team to provide you with the knowledge and experience to take the concerns away from managing your refrigeration and air conditioning assets.

Once you have McAlpine Hussmann equipment or systems, you have access to our 24-hour emergency service preventative fault diagnosis and repair, system monitoring, HVAC and refrigeration refurbishment and refrigeration conversions. All of this is delivered through our network of reliable partners throughout New Zealand.
With our trusted alliance partners and our hassle-free spare parts service, McAlpine Hussmann provides a one-stop shop for all your servicing and maintenance. We have oversight of every piece of equipment installed for you and can respond rapidly when conditions change. We can provide ongoing energy management support services, with regular reporting to ensure that you get the best possible energy efficiencies from your network.

Our goal is to ensure that your assets are working when you need them so that you don’t lose valuable business. To achieve this, it is important to establish a service program that is tailor-made to your equipment and your business needs. We believe the right level of maintenance needs to be established to ensure that your business is not disrupted through inconvenient and costly breakdowns. Through our experience and expertise, we can work with you and advise on the best mix.

In the event of a breakdown, we recognise the need to fix your equipment quickly. We operate on priority based, rather that time-based service, and guarantee immediate despatch of an engineer in an emergency.

Local Manufacturing

Our specialty manufacturing division in Tauranga offers Design, Development, Manufacturing and Testing of refrigerated and heated display merchandisers.

We are local

One of our great strengths are our ability and willingness to work with our clients to develop custom systems that respond to and provide solutions for specific needs, with advanced design, performance and styling. We start by listening to your needs – and the desires of your shoppers – to develop a fresh retail experience that will generate more sales in your store. The process then involves comprehensive Cross Section Drawings and careful consider for end users. Working with you every step of the way, a 3D image is then created and once confirmed, a prototype is built and tested to ensure it meets our high-quality industry standards. Once testing is complete the finished product is packaged up and installed for operation.

Our Tauranga R&D centre is a central hub for design, development, manufacturing and testing, specialising in innovative hot and cold merchandising solutions, for the Oceania region. Our Tauranga facility is 3,400m2 and provides full design and rapid prototype development within the onsite test laboratory before transferring to our high-volume Suzhou manufacturing facility for mass production.

The Tauranga facility has a range of capabilities such as the ability to produce sheet-metal, injection foaming, powder coating, electrical requirements, refrigeration needs as well as carpentry works, product assembly, storage and procurement.

We stand by every cabinet we manufacture, with professional service, parts and maintenance programs to ensure your total satisfaction and support.
