Italian design meets Kiwi ingenuity
100% Kiwi owned
100% locally sourced recycled materials
Our eco-friendly, patented dome system is designed by Cupolex, a world-leading Italian engineering firm, and manufactured right here in New Zealand.
We’re proudly Kiwi owned and operated, and you’ll always deal with straight-up specialists from beginning to end. We want to make it easy, and we want to make it right. It’s the way we like to do business, and we can because we’re not linked to big organisations with different rules.
So if you’d like to learn more about the greener alternative to polystyrene waffle foundations and work with people who’ll support you all the way, let’s have a chat.
Malc Cottle
National Sales Director
Malc grew up in Hawke’s Bay and met Mike through their wives, who worked together in the early 2000s and became really good friends.
In 2007, Malc and his wife decided to travel to the UK for a look around, which turned out to be a 10-year excursion with some pretty amazing experiences! From sleeping in the Sahara desert, riding a dog sleigh in Lapland, or enjoying a couple of steins at the Oktoberfest in Germany!
Basing themselves in southern Scotland, about 40 minutes from Edinburgh, Malc worked in a hotel bar for a time before following his passion to become a sales rep. Malc had two sales jobs with international companies, which he absolutely loved, “meeting new people whilst kind of getting paid to travel around the country…what’s not to love about that?”
In 2015, Mike and his wife travelled to the UK so Mike could watch the RWC and his wife could see her friend. At that time, Malc and his wife were in the early stages of pregnancy with their first child. After their visit, it started to become quite apparent that Malc and His wife were keen to come back home to HB to raise their little boy. Malc just needed to get another job.
At that time, Mike’s plastic dome business was getting a bit much to handle by himself, and he started to think about employing someone to help him manage and sell the product, taking it to the next stage…. Insert Malc, and the rest is history.
In his spare time, Malc enjoys spending time with his family and friends at the beach, camping, BBQs, and doing a little bit of DIY. Of course, he still loves to travel and experience different things.
Malc is passionate about the product he sells and sees all the benefits of it. He also enjoys getting on-site with customers, old and new, to show how the system goes together - nothing beats a bit of site banter, and at the end, a cold beer always hits the spot!
