About Holders Technology Group
Holders Technology was founded in 1972 by Rudi Weinreich, as a company selling high speed motors and control equipment to the UK Printed Circuit Board (“PCB”) industry. Over the next 50 years the company extended its business internationally, with subsidiaries in Europe, India and China fabricating and distributing specialist PCB products.
In 2010, the company diversified into the Lighting industry, through the purchase of a UK distributor specialising in LEDs and related components. Holders Technology started selling Casambi wireless lighting controls in 2016 and was the founding partner supporting the adoption of Casambi technology in the in the UK.
Today the UK business focus on Casambi as well as other emerging technologies for smart buildings through their strategic supplier partnerships.
In 2021, a Joint Venture was set up to support the growth of Casambi solutions in New Zealand and Australia. Prior to this joint venture Casambi technology was largely unsupported in both countries due to lack of local investment for market confidence.
Holders Technology maintains the values of a family business: long-term relationships with all stakeholders, honesty, and integrity. These values are shared in New Zealand and support our collaborative working partnerships.
With offices in Auckland and Christchurch, Holders Technology NZ is proudly majority NZ owned and operated
