Chatfield Marine

Established in 1948, Chatfield Marine began by producing Stern Glands and Bearings for the local boat building industry, which at the time was unable to obtain marine hardware from overseas, due to government controlled import restrictions.

Over the years, Chatfield Marine grew to a point where the existing factory became too small and the business relocated in 1962 to a larger purpose built factory in Glenfield, Auckland.

From those humble early days Chatfield Marine has grown to export its products worldwide.
Chatfield Marine is now under the management of Rob Macready who continues to promote the long-standing philosophy of producing high quality Bronze and Stainless Steel marine hardware at a reasonable price.

Innovative design and manufacturing techniques help to keep Chatfield Marine at the forefront of the international marine industry.

Chatfield Marine employs a small team of highly skilled people. The staff work as a team to ensure the customers delivery dates are met and to produce the highest quality products their customers expect and demand.

Chatfield marine is also the New Zealand distributors for Vesconite, a polymer, plain bearing material.
