Andy Ellis sat down with Richard Currie at TMC Trailers to hear the story behind an epic generational Kiwi business based in Christchurch.

-------------

Richard, how long has TMC Trailers been running?

Richard: Since 1948. My grandfather served in the Second World War and saw American trailers being operated over there. He took that concept and became the pioneer of trailer manufacturing in New Zealand.


So what's the process to actually build a trailer?

Richard: The first step is designing them. We've got CAD engineers who model the products on the computer, and then we use stress analysis to work out where the weaknesses are and strengthen them up where they need to be. Then we cut and fold all the profiles and start welding them together. Once the chassis are fabricated, we move into sandblasting, then the paint shop, and then they go into our finishing department where we do all the light assembly.


And you chose .kiwi for your domain?

Richard: It just reflects who we are as a New Zealand business. We saw one of our customers using it and I thought, that's pretty cool. Nice and short!

Something interesting is happening 👀

For years, Kiwi businesses have defaulted to .com or .co.nz.

But we are starting to see a shift towards alternate domains such as .ai, .co and .me. However, these are all country codes and are owned offshore. Our Kiwi-owned and operated alternative .kiwi is growing!

Since November last year, new .kiwi registrations have grown by more than 300%, signalling a surge in interest from businesses that want their online identity to reflect where they’re from.

So we thought we would take a look at who is choosing .kiwi via our new blog post - https://www.hello.kiwi/post/look-who-s-choosing-kiwi

Planning a rebrand in 2026? Don’t forget about .kiwi. 💡

It is easy to get caught up in the new logo and colours, but you need to think about your digital identity too.

It is easy to get caught up in the new logo and colours, but you also need to think about your digital identity.

👉 Why you should consider .kiwi when rebranding:

- Instantly signals your roots as a Kiwi business.
- A short, clean, memorable domain that actually matches your new brand (no need to add a nz, _ or number to your domain or social handle).
- No need to compromise, with great names still available as a .kiwi domain.
- It's unique but recognisable, stands out among a busy online space.

If you’re rethinking your brand next year, talk to us early. We may be able to help promote your new brand launch! (including some $$ to spend)
