Façade solutions provider Thermosash celebrated the opening of its new 17,000m² facility in Auckland’s Henderson, along with five decades of business, at the end of November.
In welcoming the 300-plus guests to the Central Park Drive site, CEO David Hayes said it was a great opportunity to show the company’s clients, architects and main contractors the range of project and façade solutions with which Thermosash had been involved since his father, Laurie Hayes, launched the business in 1973.
Amongst the company’s better-known early projects were the University of Auckland’s School of Architecture (1982), the BNZ Tower in Auckland (1986) and the National Bank Twin Towers, also in Auckland (1987).
Notable projects post-1987 have been the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa, Wellington (1996), the Auckland Museum Events Centre (2006) and The Rock, Wellington International Airport (2010). One of Thermosash’s most recent projects is BNZ’s new headquarters, One Whitmore Street in Wellington (2023).
