ECKO Fastening Systems - Makes your job easier™

ECKO Fastening Systems is a 100% kiwi owned & operated company specialising in innovative systems that helps builders, manufacturers and industry customers in this competitive Fastening market. Our aim is to "make your job easier™" ECKO was founded in 2000 from a small garage in Howick, Auckland. The first 12 months was a huge challenge, starting from nothing and unsure which direction the company should go, we picked up our first furniture manufacturing customer in 2001. From there the focus was furniture industry for the next 3 years, and this gave us our initial foundation of the business of ECKO in early stage. After that, ECKO started to grow rapidly into pallet, bedding, trellis, prenail and window manufacturers between 2003 and 2008. We did this by offering top trade quality tools, better production systems, production training and “how to” information sharing. As we grew we were aware of a huge market that ECKO had little or no influence on, the merchant/retail market. In late 2008, ECKO introduced the first joist hanger nailer to New Zealand, the PN38 joist hanger nailing system had huge potential as it saved builders up to 80% of their labour costs while installing joist hangers and strap bracing. In 2012, ECKO developed the first HAMMAHAND weatherboard nailing solution; this system is able to cover up to 80% of manual hammering applications such as: underlay, cavity batten, fencing, decking, ply bracing, weatherboard & all the James Hardie building products. In 2010 ECKO released a range of gas driven gun nails to the market. The 90mm bright and 90mm galv framing nail packs were sold to the merchant market. ECKO finally released a multi use gas cell that will work in most framing and concrete nailing tools. Now, with this new gas cell, hammer hand series, industry manufacturing products and quality range of fastening tools, ECKO have a full range of fasteners and compete in every fastening market in the country.
