Deltec Telesystems Ltd

Abstract

Deltec Telesystems has come a long way since its beginnings as a team of four people working out of an old timber-door factory in the Wellington suburb of Rongotai. While its origins were in servicing the mobile radio industry, the firm now designs and manufactures base-station equipment primarily for cellular communication networks. Its manufacturing site is at Tawa and it has a product development office at Porirua, both just 10-20 km from Wellington. The team has grown to about 90 permanent staff members plus a number of contract employees, with an annual turnover in excess of $30m. Deltec exports 95 per cent of its products, and sells to countries in every continent of the world
