| Nilsson Winches & Engineering has it's origins in a company founded by Jim and Faye Nilsson in 1968 to manufacture components. Building a winch for his father out of washing machine parts, a starter motor and a solid bronze, Jim founded a significant winch manufacturing business which by the mid 70's had a sound export base. Nilsson Winches & Engineering is the longest established winch maker in New Zealand and often breaks new ground with innovative designs driven by customer needs. Many of those early winches are still in service and a limited range of spare parts is still carried. The modern range of winches is designed and built in the same tradition of reliable service and long life. Nilsson Engineering website Nilsson Winches & Engineering operate a sophisticated engineering workshop in Auckland, New Zealand. We can manufacture a wide range of components to your spec or help with design and build of custom parts. Visit our Nilsson Engineering website. |
