ABOUT US

Gary Altenburg – Owner

Gary Altenburg, the owner of MWF, is a joiner by trade, qualified with top honours from Southland Polytechnic. He previously owned a small joinery workshop in Central Otago for four years, and then worked in Australia for a large shop-fitting company.

From his experience, he saw the opportunity to provide a better service to clients than the industry norm. With this vision to make a difference, Gary moved in as the manager of Mark White Furniture Limited and subsequently purchased the business in 2001, changing the name to MWF Manufacturing Limited.  From here he has made a long term commitment to the joinery/ shop fitting/ kitchen industry in Christchurch and New Zealand.

Gary is accompanied by a very experienced and passionate team of 16 staff.

Using the latest technology with ongoing research and development

We are running some of the latest Nesting-based CNC technology and recently invested in more plant and running technology.  We use some of the latest manufacturing applications such as Microvellum Manufacturing Software and Empower which is a real-time labour tracking system.  As an addition to Empower we are now running the Scheduling Software, which gives us the capability of focussing on future works and our capacity.  We are actively involved in research and development within the industry.

Suppliers Carefully Picked to Ensure Consistent Quality, Delivery, and Pricing

In order to provide great overall products and service, we’re quite choosy about our business partners. We have a preferred supplier programme ensuring consistent supply, quality and pricing.

A Reputation for Premium Service - Avoiding Hassles that Cost More in the Long Run

MWF has succeeded solely by word-of-mouth advertising to this point, based on good client experiences with us. We provide premium products and service so are not the cheapest in the industry. Some clients have come back to us after difficult experiences with some companies who appear to be cheaper but the delays and hassles they’ve had actually made the job more expensive not to mention tarnishing their own reputations.

We Absolutely Stand Behind Our Products – a Long Term Commitment

We are committed to ensuring our clients are 100% happy with our products and services. So, in the rare cases where things go wrong, we’ll put it right, even years after the work is done. Our reputation is important for us to uphold.

Objective and Open Advice – We’ll Refer You to Other Businesses If it’s Best for You

We’re committed to providing the best overall solutions for our clients, so if you want something that’s outside our core business expertise, such as appliances, we’ll refer you to good suppliers who can do this better than we can.
