TMC Trailers is one of New Zealand's largest heavy transport engineers that specialises in the manufacture of truck trailers and decks, manufacturing the widest selection of trailers available in Australasia. TMC Trailers was founded in 1948 by Ian Currie, he started the business on his return from serving as an aircraft mechanic in WW2.

TMC's Head Office & Manufacturing facility is located in Hornby, Christchurch where every step of the production process from CAD design, fabrication, abrasive blasting, painting and assembly is performed in house. This fully managed approach to the business ensures that the products are built to the highest standard.

The business remains in the family more than 65 years later and is now run by Ian's son Paul and grandson Richard. “As a locally owned and run Canterbury based business we saw this as an opportunity to show our continued support to this great event and also our customers and the Industry as a whole” said Skippy

“We couldn’t be more delighted that TMC Trailers Ltd have secured the naming rights for the show. Having a local company that is so involved in the industry makes it special. Skippy (Paul) and Richard are well known and respected in the industry so I am sure the transport operators will show their support and buy lots off TMC Trailers.” said Carol McGeady - Show Coordinator.
