History
The 1st Generation – In the early 1950’s, Harold Wallace moved on from Tasman Empire Airways Ltd (TEAL Airways, now Air New Zealand) and with expertise gained from 20 years in aircraft maintenance, commenced business as Wallace Reconditioners, including remetalling bearings.
The 2nd Generation – In 1974 Phill Wallace, son of Harold decided to specialise and commenced Alloy Bearings in a small building in Wellsford. After several relocations to accommodate growth, the present site of over 6,000m² with facilities of 2000m² accommodates the dedicated Alloy Bearings team.
The 3rd Generation – In 2004 Stephen Wallace, son of Phill, became the owner of Alloy Bearings and has continued the reputation for quality with the focus and specialisation of Alloy Bearings.
- In 2017, Alloy Bearings acquired Mace Engineering, Christchurch bearing manufacturing and remetalling business interests. Mace Engineering is the manufacturer of Maag gearbox bearings for the ANZAC frigate project.
- In 2021, Alloy Bearings acquired Weir Minerals (Australia) bearing remetalling business interests, becoming by far the largest whitemetal (babbitt) bearing business in Australasia.
The 4th generation – Steve’s son Albert is now International Business Development Manager along with a passion to make Alloy Bearings decades of specialist knowledge, dependability, and reputation for quality available.
The 5th Generation – Albert has two young sons, who knows what the future brings? Alloy Bearings will continue to strive to be seen as the market leader and specialist in Australasia and South East Asia for Whitemetal (Babbitt) Plain Bearings.
