About Archant
Archant is a leading supplier of premium architectural products in New Zealand, providing architectural hardware and decorative solutions for kitchens, bathrooms, and interiors. Partnering with global brands, Archant delivers innovative and high-quality products that support architects, designers, and construction professionals in creating outstanding projects.
Early Days
With humble beginnings dating back to 1984, our 40+ year company journey was built on three essential characteristics: honesty, integrity, and hard work.
What started as a small family business called ‘HB Brass & Copper’ has evolved into a leading architectural and kitchen hardware distributor and supplier in New Zealand.
Over the last three and a half decades, we have honed our ability to provide quality, innovation, and exceptional service.
Archant Rebrand
In becoming Archant in 2018, we chose to focus on being a champion project enabler, rather than simply a supplier and distributor. As enablers of great design, we continually strive to improve our offerings, making us a trusted and leading architectural merchant in New Zealand & Australia. By proactively searching the world for leading trends, the latest materials, and expertise, we bring the very best products and brands home to provide world-class design solutions. Whether residential or commercial projects, our mission is to deliver exceptional solutions to elevate spaces to the next level.
Archant Now
While we are still a 100% New Zealand owned family business. Operating from our HQ in Hawkes Bay, we offer a full turnkey service delivered through our Australia & New Zealand coverage.
The team is led by Managing Director, Hamish Raikes, who is supported at a leadership level by Directors Sefton Clare and Garth Raikes, plus Advisory Board members Craig Anderson, Managing Director of Newtech, and Greg Tunley, Managing Director of Voltex.
