Tilley and Patton is a leading force in precision sheet metal manufacturing, combining over a century of craftsmanship with forward-thinking engineering. Formerly known as the Tilley Group, our legacy dates back to 1921, with a proud history of delivering high-quality, durable, and visually striking metal solutions for New Zealand and beyond.

Our story now continues alongside Patton Engineering - another long-standing, family-founded New Zealand business known for its excellence in steel fabrication and its commitment to people, partnerships, and quality. While we operate independently, both businesses share a strong heritage of craftsmanship, values-driven leadership, and deep roots in the local manufacturing industry.

Today, under our new name following the 2025 acquisition by the Patton Group, we bring together proven manufacturing heritage with fresh capability, innovation, and scale. Our rebrand to Tilley and Patton represents more than a name change - it’s a signal of evolution and renewed purpose. We remain proudly rooted in the values that built our reputation: reliability, integrity, and quality - but with added energy, resources, and ambition.

Managing Director Daniel Lincoln leads this next phase with a strong background in manufacturing operations, strategic development and team leadership. His hands-on approach is focused on innovation, continuous improvement, stronger customer relationships and building on the strengths of Tilley & Patton’s manufacturing heritage.”

With operations based in Wellington, and additional offices in Auckland and Christchurch, Tilley and Patton services clients across Australasia.

Our history is filled with exceptional people, continuous growth and ongoing innovation, and we are proud to be a New Zealand manufacturer.
