Our journey began in 1976 when Bill Richardson acquired the plants in Invercargill and Gore, setting the foundation for the Allied Concrete of today.

We’re proud to be part of the HWR family of businesses, a Southland-based family owned business. HWR was originally in the building industry but over the years they have grown to include ready mixed concrete, transport, fuel distribution, road construction and maintenance as well as sand, aggregates and lime.

Since entering the concrete industry in 1976, Allied Concrete has grown in both size and expertise. Today, we are recognised for our technical excellence and ability to produce exceptionally consistent mixes, regularly receiving industry awards.

We are also committed to leading the way in sustainable concrete solutions. In 2014, we became the first company in Australasia to receive an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), demonstrating our dedication to transparency and environmental responsibility. Building on this, we have introduced our EPD On-Demand service, providing project-specific data on the environmental impact of using our low-carbon concrete solution, Ecrete™. This innovation, along with the launch of Ecrete™ in 2022, reinforces our commitment to delivering high-performance, low-carbon concrete that meets the evolving needs of the construction industry.

With plants located strategically across New Zealand and mobile plants that are available for anchor projects anywhere in the country, we’re experts at delivering simply better concrete solutions.
