Established in 1978, Fibreglass Developments Ltd (FDL) expanded from its original 1600 sq. ft. workshop to occupy some 44,000 sq. ft. in the present factory - located in Feilding, near Palmerston North, New Zealand. From our centrally located facility, we produce a wide range of products for a large variety of industries throughout New Zealand. FDL has its own portfolio of products including Steridor & Plyglas.
Our specialty is developmental work on behalf of clients - whether designing improvements to an existing product, or developing a totally new product whose generic form is not normally produced in composites.
The FDL team is led by Owner and Managing Director, Steve Bond, who has been involved in the fibreglass industry for over 35 years. With 20 staff, he is supported by a solid core of very experienced long-serving employees who are dedicated to the success of the company and are committed to the company's guaranteed standards of quality and service.
