About TCL Hofmann...

Who We Are

Hofmann & Co.
Founded in 1984 in Melbourne by Fred Hofmann, the company was a wholly-owned family business. It earned its reputation by supplying equipment and raw materials to the Cable, Plastics and Packaging industries in Australia and New Zealand.

TCL Hofmann
TCL Hofmann was formed in December 2004 through the acquisition of Hofmann & Co. by TCL Australia Pty Ltd. TCL Australia Pty Ltd were the Australian side of the New Zealand company TCL Marketing, that has been operating in New Zealand since 1937 as a major supplier of raw materials and finished products to NZ Manufacturing Sector. The merger of Hofmann & Co. and TCL Australia was seen as a good fit for both companies and created the new company in Australia to be known as TCL Hofmann.

These days TCL Hofmann has established a Head Office in Melbourne and also has offices in Sydney. Over time our success has dveloped from offering the highest levels of service, quality and integrity to our customers.

Our sister company TCL Marketing has offices in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington.
