Holer Diamond Tools Company

Holer Diamond Tools started trading in 1992 and has established itself as New Zealand’s largest and leading supplier to the concrete cutting, drilling, grinding and stone processing industries. It now has five outlets in New Zealand with a client list of over a thousand companies. It is also a family company built from the ground up with strong personal values that reflect positively in all aspects of their business.

Holer has the industry’s largest team of sales representatives who are trained on an ongoing basis in areas such as wall and wire sawing as well as concrete grinding (HTC Superfloor™). This allows the Holer’s sales team to build strong partnerships with customers. The company is not only a supplier of machinery and diamond tools but is particularly hands-on when demonstrating to the client the safest way possible of operating the equipment. They can also design and produce machinery for specific needs.

The Holer family has made the company success a high priority and invested their time and expertise, ensuring this success for 16 years. As a result the company is able to provide solutions to its clients from its knowledge base. Phil Holer says: “On a regular basis we work with our customers to find the best methodology for specific projects in order to work out the best way to utilise the machinery and diamond tools.”

In order to keep at the forefront of the market the company has recently invested significantly in automatic welding machines from Dr Fritsch for its service centre and SAP software for its administration in order to operate very efficiently. Phil Holer states: “The NZ economy is small and our investments may be viewed as generous, however we feel in the long run it is the only option as customers continuously demand fast and efficient service. We need to be able to react and decide quickly. This has always been our strength and most of the 100,000 items sold annually are dispatched to customers overnight.”

Over the years Holer has attracted many overseas suppliers such as; Tyrolit Hydrostress, Weka, ICS, HTC, Core Cut, and Hycon, to be their exclusive agent of machinery. Holer’s philosophy is to only stock and sell high quality products in order to build a reputation based on reliability and profitability to the customer. Every machine that is sold is serviced and repaired in-house. Most of the brands were introduced by Holer to the local market and Holer has made them the leading brand in their field.

By having a state-of-the- art service centre and its own R&D team, Holer is able to custom design tools and machinery. It is these special requests for unusual or ‘one-off’ jobs that puts Holer into a category of their own and testimony to the fact that more and more customers are putting their trust in Holer to deliver. Their service centre has the capability to manufacture core drills of up to 3000mm in length. The largest blade was three metres in diameter.

When designing custom machines, the R&D team endeavour to utilise components from existing suppliers combining them with in-house designed attachments and brackets. The benefit to customers is that the components can be utilised again.

Holer’s success is attributed to never sacrificing quality and this is the advice they give. Phil says: “Investing in new quality equipment brings its own rewards on large projects when the operators are fully trained and when the client works closely with their diamond tool supplier. A good supplier should be able to support the concrete cutter with know how, service, and the ability to custom design tools. Price should never be a deciding factor. It is important to us that we deliver products and services to our customers that allow them to maximise their profits.”

HTC Superfloor

The global demand for polished concrete is growing exponentially and the worldwide market leader for ecological and sustainable concrete surface solutions is HTC Sweden AB (www.htc-sweden.com). HTC Superfloor is a complete concept for polishing concrete.
The method involves mechanically refining the concrete surface by removing the top cement paste and exposing the underlying, stronger concrete. The existing concrete is grinded and polished according to a dependable and thoroughly tested method using HTC’s effective machines and diamond tools. The result is a floor with a completely even surface, with highly functional and aesthetic qualities.

HTC Superfloor is suitable in both industrial and public environments and is therefore an extremely economical option for all types of business activities. It is available in four different concepts; Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. This gives the option to have a matt surface finish or a high gloss finish, depending on the application. All four Superfloor concepts are functional, economical, eco-friendly and aesthetically appealing.

HTC Superfloor is successfully used in the mechanical and automotive industry, storage areas for consumer products and groceries, shops and educational facilities. Compared with traditional flooring methods like epoxy, HTC Superfloor offers unbeatable durability and the life cycle cost is around 60 per cent less than that of traditional flooring solutions.
Maintenance and cleaning costs are also drastically reduced thanks to the Twister Cleaning Method. With Twister, you only need water – no chemicals or polishing agents are required, making it gentler on the floor and operator but still producing brilliant results. With an increasing demand for durable, flat, hard and aesthetically appealing floors that are easily cleaned and maintained, HTC Superfloor is the preferred choice.

Holer Diamond Tools is the New Zealand agent for HTC Sweden AB and supports local applicators with machinery, tooling and know how. Furthermore, Holer is certifying companies throughout the country to become HTC Superfloor approved applicators by running regular HTC Seminars to provide education and training with the supervision of Superfloor specialists from Sweden. This ensures HTC standards are met and the trademark is protected.
