History
​

​TMC Trailers or as it was formerly called Trailer Manufacturing Company was Established in 1948 by Ian Currie shortly after his return home from the Second World War.

​Ian had served as a mechanic with the NZ Scottish regiment in Guadalcanal and Bougainville his service had involved retrieving crashed American aircraft and stripping them of parts to keep the New Zealand planes flying. Ian's American supplied tractor unit was hooked up to a transporter, the first he or most other New Zealanders had seen up close at that point.  Ian's experience during the war showed him the pulling power of trailers and it would change him and the New Zealand trailer building industry.

The earliest trailers built by Ian include some of the very first heavy transport trailers used on New Zealand roads.

In 1989 Trailer Manufacturing Company Limited became TMC Trailers Ltd.

From a one-man-band to today with over 75 employees TMC Trailers has continued to grow and prosper under the leadership of Ian’s son Paul and Grandson Richard.
