History

Marley began its New Zealand story right back in 1957 trading as a vinyl flooring contractor and retailer in Three Lamps, Ponsonby. After a couple of years, we setup shop in Manurewa, Auckland. Here we started manufacturing our vinyl flooring systems locally, before transitioning into the world of PVC and Polyethylene pipe systems focused on quality, innovation and long-lasting customer relationships.

An iconic Kiwi brand, Marley has grown to become one of New Zealand’s largest manufacturers in the plastics industry. Involved with extruded and injection moulded products, Marley manufactures using PVC, Polyethylene and Polybutylene. Belonging to the Aliaxis group has also provided Marley with access to thousands of new products around the world.

    1959 Manufacturing in Manurewa
  • A Change In Direction
    Early in the 1970’s the New Zealand Government removed import licensing and tariffs on flooring and this exposed Marley to international competition on a scale it could not compete with. A strategic decision was made to exit flooring and take the business into PVC pipe and fittings.
    1970s A Change In Direction
  • The Marley Duck-
    Jacks initial rise to fame was in the late 80’s-early 90’s when he became the major animated character for the Marley TV commercial as the singing and dancing version to the soundtrack "Singing in the rain" by Gene Kelly. The song and Duck sliding down the drainpipe and dancing in puddles became an icon and over the ensuing years became the ‘unofficial face of Marley’.
    1980s The Marley Duck-"Jack"
  • Growth and Acquisiton
    During the 1970’s and 1980’s Marley grew from a small player in a crowded market to the market leader. This was achieved through growing the product range organically and through the acquisition of other market players, most notably CHH Plastics in 1989.
