Compac Group

In 1995 two Dargaville brothers decided to combine their complementary talents and energies. One, Ken Simpkin, was a qualified joiner with established customers for his products. The other, Mervyn Simpkin, had a head for figures and a strong entrepreneurial streak. Compac Furniture was formed.

28 years later Compac Group is a flourishing multi-faceted business with three generations of the Simpkin family contributing to our ongoing success and growth.

Dargaville – Our Home

Compac Group’s 7,500 square metre factory, assembly plant and offices is situated at 10 Mako Street, Dargaville in the north of the North Island of New Zealand.

Dargaville is our family’s hometown. Has been for over 27 years.
The thriving area also provides Compac Group with significant operating advantages. A stable population is combined with relatively low operating costs and reliable access for delivery of raw materials, and routes to market.

Dargaville is a great place to live and work. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Being a good corporate citizen is important to us at Compac Group. We work hard to balance the needs of our staff and customers while always considering the environmental impact of business operations on our environment.

We make our products to last and reduce waste wherever we can. No harsh chemicals or other harmful substances are used in our manufacturing process or onsite.

– Health & Safety

Compac Group is committed to providing a safe, healthy working environment, and a good quality of work-life for all staff.  We respect and acknowledge the diversity of our employees and value and recognise the contribution of every member of the team.
