Did you know Achievement House has assembled over 20,000 Install Packs for APL Manufacturing?

Meet the team at Achievement House, a place providing opportunities for the Waikato disabled community to contribute, connect, and thrive. As a disability enterprise, they partner with local businesses like ours to deliver high-quality assembly and packaging services.

Through our sister company APL Manufacturing and Achievement House have developed a collaborative process to assemble APL Door Hardware Install Packs, small but critical kits used by builders across the country.

Being proudly New Zealand-made goes beyond where we manufacture, it’s about how we support the communities around us.
