About
PlaceMakers
PlaceMakers (trading name of Fletcher Distribution Limited, part of Fletcher Building) is New Zealand's largest supplier of building materials and hardware, with 67 stores from Kaitaia to Invercargill and over 74,000 product lines. They employ over 2,100 people, serve over 300,000 customers, and also manufacture frames and trusses from 8 plants nationwide.
Their range is comprehensive across all stages of construction — timber, hardware, plumbing, farm fencing, trade electrical supplies, hand and power tools, kitchens, bathrooms, paint, landscaping, aggregates, and frame & truss. They serve both trade professionals (with dedicated trade accounts, a trade portal, and trade app) and DIY retail customers online. Compared to the others covered, PlaceMakers is the broadest of the bunch — less of a specialist distributor and more of a full-service building supplies chain covering everything from structural materials to interior fit-out.
