Kia ora and greetings,

It’s been great to connect with more of our customers, suppliers and partners directly and through industry events celebrating our industry, people, projects and successes.
 
While we continue to feel the impact of lower demand in the building and construction sector, positive signs are emerging and we’re optimistic lower interest rates will stimulate incremental demand in 2025.  
 
Our team has been busy optimising our new manufacturing facility in Tauranga and achieving all the key milestones for quality, performance and productivity, all while keeping customer experience top of mind and striving for continuous improvement.
 
As part of our continuous improvement focus, we’re pleased to be supporting the LBP Training Days where our technical team recently presented the new GIB^® Fire Rated Systems manual, the GIB® Site Guide and the new GIB® Rondo® Metal Batten Systems manual. We appreciate the positive feedback for these new releases. 
 
Our team also launched our new GIB® ‘Let’s Build’ brand campaign celebrating our people in industry creating and building great spaces and communities. You can view the video here.
 
I hope you enjoy the GIB® NewsBites articles, and I look forward to working with you and your teams in the future.  

Nga Mihi | Kind Regards
Mike Arthur
General Manager
