On the 14^th February 1957, a group of men gathered in Wellington to form a Federation that could wield some strength in representation to Government, to further some standardisation with componentry and possibly generate some buying power. A major concern of the day was the imported trailers that didn’t meet local regulations in terms of width, length and braking efficiency. A perennial problem that we still face today.

The history of our Federation is long and fascinating. You can read about all the legends and tales in our historical book. Contact Mike Isle for your copy: mike@mikecopyright.co.nz
