About B&D Group

B&D Group NZ comprises of manufacturing plants in Auckland and Christchurch with a total workforce of approx. 100 people.

Controlled by a local New Zealand management team, we are able to be proactive to market requirements.   The other units within the B&D Group are B&D Doors (Australia) Pty and Automatic Technologies Australia Pty (ATA). Automatic Technology Australia is the leading innovator, designer and manufacturer of garage door, gate, and commercial opener products for the B&D group.

B&D Doors was established in Australia in 1946 by Arthur Byrne and Paul Davidson. Together over the next 10 years they invented and developed the roller door that we still manufacture today. The commencement of opener manufacturing in our purpose built Chinese facility has brought the production of all B&D Group door and opener products in-house.

In New Zealand, our products are marketed through our nationwide dealer networks under the Garador and Dominator brands.

B&D Group is part of DuluxGroup – visit the DuluxGroup website to find out more.

A History Spaning over 80 Years

Since the unveiling of the first B&D Roll-A-Door in Sydney in 1956, the B&D brand has grown to become an Australian icon that reflects engineering ingenuity and innovation. A licensing agreement between B&D and AHI Garage Doors saw the AHI Roll-A-Door subsequently introduced to New Zealand, having a profound impact on urban streetscapes around this country.

From the development of our initial revolutionary all-steel garage door made from pressed metal sheets that could be rolled and unrolled as a continuous flexible curtain without cracking, we have continued to invest heavily in research and development. Through constantly delivering design and functionality improvements, B&D has been able to maintain its Australasian market leadership position for more than 50 years.

Long lasting, hardwearing and good-looking

For many homes a garage door provides an integral part of its street-facing appearance. That’s why B&D Doors not only manufactures doors that meet the toughest tests for performance, long life and durability, but also ones that provide the highest levels of aesthetic appeal.

Custom made and fitted to the exact requirements of each opening, B&D doors are available in the elegance of molded steel in a vast array of pre-painted & Powder Coat colours.

Leading the way in residential and industrial door solutions

With manufacturing plants across New Zealand as well as in Australia and China, B&D is today recognised as the specialist in residential as well as industrial garage doors. Our products include the ever popular Roll-A-Door as well as New Zealand’s premium insulated sectional garage door, the B&D Therma Tech II and other innovative designs such as the new Flex-A-Door, designed to replace out-dated Tilt Doors.

State-of-the-art fail-proof opening technologies

In addition to manufacturing excellence, B&D has continued to harness the power of cutting edge technologies to deliver greater convenience for our end users. An example of this is the incorporation of Trio-Code Multi Frequency technology into the Dominator and Garador range of openers, which eliminates the interference issues that increasingly affect openers using 433Mhz frequency operating systems.

An unparalleled network of trained professional dealers

A network of more than 70 B&D Authorised Dealers across New Zealand ensures that every B&D manufactured product is backed by the highest levels of customer service and support.

B&D Authorised Dealers undergo extensive training in all aspects of our products, including installation and maintenance procedures. In addition, they attend yearly conferences to update their product knowledge and review their customer service performance. As an expert in garage doors and openers, your local Dominator or Garador Dealer is able to provide comprehensive advice on the best solution for your individual requirements as well as the assurance that all service and maintenance issues will be dealt with efficiently and effectively.
