Cordall has been operating in the Horowhenua for more than 20 years and are proud to be a New Zealand owned and operated business.

Cordall started manufacturing in Levin, when Levin was the ‘textile capital of New Zealand’. It recently changed hands for the first time.

The new owners, John and Gill Olifent, are ex Wellingtonians with business backgrounds. They have had ties with the Horowhenua for some years. With the purchase they have retained critical staff members. The team have the experience and knowledge to provide you with the best product and customer experience, within your timeframe and on budget.

Richard is a trained textile technician. He has been with Cordall for 20 years and heads the manufacturing capability. Richard loves to get new product challenges from customers. Janet has worked for Cordall for 17 years. She heads the sales and customer care effort and knows every product and the particular qualities of those products. Call her to discuss your product needs and she will recommend the best yarn and manufacturing method available.

The team regularly manufacture about 450 products, some in 30 different colours using 25 different machines, so they have a huge breadth of manufacturing experience. Many of the products are readily available for purchase on the shelves in the Factory Shop. In addition to the customers defined in this website, a significant proportion of the manufacturing capacity is focused on products that are for the farming and healthcare sectors.

Cordall’s niche is being a nimble and responsive New Zealand based manufacturer. The factory cannot compete with the South East Asian giant manufacturing companies, but the team at Cordall can help you reduce your inventory costs by providing smaller more regular delivery of product. Whilst the team are experts at  next day deliveries of ‘smaller runs’, they are also very happy to discuss pricing for ‘long runs’.
