History

Our journey began in 1976 when Bill Richardson acquired the plants in Invercargill and Gore, setting the foundation for the Allied Concrete of today.

We’re proud to be part of the HWR family of businesses, a Southland-based familyowned business. HWR was originally in the building industry but over the years they have grown to include ready mixed concrete, transport, fuel distribution, road construction and maintenance as well as sand, aggregates and lime.

Since starting out in the concrete business in 1976, Allied Concrete has continued to expand in size and expertise. These days, we regularly win awards for our technical excellence and ability to produce exceptionally consistent mixes. We’re also on a journey to lead the way in sustainable solutions for the concrete industry and received Australasia’s first Environmental Product Declaration in 2014 and released our low carbon, high strength concrete, ecrete™, in 2022.

With plants located strategically across New Zealand and mobile plants that are available for anchor projects anywhere in the country, we’re experts at delivering simply better concrete solutions.
