SAECOWilson
Wilson Brothers started in Invercargill in 1919, becoming a significant South Island engineering supply company. Saeco (South Auckland Equipment Company) was established in Otahuhu in 1963, before expanding nationwide. Precision Bearings started in 1973.

In 2008 Saeco and Precision Bearings were merged to key off their mutual strengths. Then in 2011 SAECOPRECISION and Wilson Brothers were merged through common ownership. “The three companies were major players in the bearings and power transmission markets, so SAECOWilson was founded through the amalgamation of the three,” Mark says.

Wilson Brothers had a strong foray into the engineering consumables and tools space which they had been doing very successfully for a number of years. “A lot of companies that move away from specialisation into more generic products and lose their technical skills when they lose focus away from their core product range.
