Crane Distribution NZ Ltd. is an Australian-based distributor and probably the largest in Australia and New Zealand. They do business as Mico Plumbing and Pipelines, and Master Trade. Yes, two companies - basically the same products, but Mico markets to the plumbing trade and Master Trade markets to the consumer. They did about $500 million NZ$ (about $350 million U.S.) in 2003. They are publicly owned. Mico has 36 branches and 29 showrooms. Master Trade has 44 outlets and 41 showrooms. In Christchurch we toured the showrooms and interviewed Christine Rivers, marketing manager for both companies. The combined companies have 1250 employees - so they're big.
