About Us
"we strive to be a remarkable company - for our staff, customers, suppliers and stake holders" Robb Huskinson - Managing Director
HTC was established by my father
Roy in the garden shed in 1982.

He wrote our original company name
"The Hydraulic Tool Company Ltd" in vivid marker pen on the outside
and spent his evenings in there servicing tools and his days
travelling the country seeing customers. He worked hard to build
the business as did my mother who kept the finances (and Roy) in
line.
Since these initial days the
company has grown - the range of equipment & services have
expanded as has the number of people we employ but the basic
principle of HTC instilled into me as a little boy - "sell good
quality equipment, at a fair price with good back up and service"
still remain the same.
Now more than ever before our
ability to deliver on this principle depends on the ability of our
team. To help guide decision making we've defined our company
values and summarised them in the acronym HTC it
-
Honesty - Play
above the line
-
Team - Keep our
promises and have fun
-
Customer Focus -
Supply the best solution for our customer not our bottom line
-
Innovation &
Growth - Ask why ? - challenge the staus quo without
fear
-
Teach - Knowledge
shared is strength
Recently we've set ourselves some
goals which have refocused us on growth. In order to achieve our
targets we've embarked on a journey to become a remarkable company
for our staff, customers, suppliers and stake holders. We recognise
that the key thing to reaching these goals is delivering value to
our customers. Therefore we encourage you to share your experiences
(good & bad) to help us improve and deliver a better
experience. Feel free to email me robbh@specialisedtools.co.nz
or anyone of my team with your thoughts, ideas or comments.
