This event brings together over 2,000 special children from over 400 groups (including the likes of Kidney Kids, Child Cancer, Autism NZ, Down Syndrome Association to name a few) who nominate children to attend this happy day.

Wilco sponsored Anita McLaren (nee Punt) during her 2016 Black Sticks Olympics campaign. She has a reputation for her speed, being touted as one of the fastest female hockey players in the world.

New Zealand needs a sustainable solution to solve the used tyre problem… and this is it. Auckland company Eco Retainer Limited has developed a concrete retaining-wall system where compressed bales of used tyres are encapsulated within a precast concrete block.

Recently, 12 staff members from Wilco Precast turned up and did their part. Most of the vegetables, chicken, etc, required for the meal was donated, sufficient to cater for 140 people.

Wilco is assisting engineering students from University Of Auckland in a testing programme to verify the performance of proprietary threaded inserts as a connection for precast wall panels.

Reminiscent of rows of the famous Buried Chinese Terracotta Army, precast concrete units sit in rows at Wilco Precast’s yard at Papakura awaiting their fate.

Wilco Precast, in conjunction with Bridgeman Concrete and Reids Construction Systems have made a contribution to the Bruce Pullman Trust at Papakura.

Hawkins Construction recently hired a mobile coffee van and “shouted” morning tea for the staff at Wilco Precast in appreciation of the quality and timely delivery of geometrically difficult precast façade panels used in the Merchant Quarter project at New Lynn.
