Established in 1973, HELLA New Zealand has long been committed to the design and manufacturing of the highest quality lighting products. The company has witnessed a significant expansion over the past five decades, owed to the adoption of modern production methods and substantial investments in pioneering cutting-edge technologies. Our products illuminate seafaring vessels the world over with energy-efficient, durable, and aesthetically pleasing lighting solutions that both enhance safety and optimize the marine experience.

Spanning 7,500 square metres, the manufacturing premises are a testament to modern engineering with highly precise automated production capabilities and dedicated in-house design teams. Plastic injection moulding machines have been a major addition, enabling us to mould components to an exceptionally accurate margin of just ±0.02mm.

Our electronics plant is equipped with the most recent automated, precision Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly systems. In 2013, the facility achieved self-sufficiency in Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) production. To illustrate its productivity, the plant places 53,000 LEDs onto PCBAs daily, which amounts to 12.8 million LEDs per annum (as of 2022).

In light of New Zealand’s rich maritime history and world-class yacht manufacturing prowess, HELLA New Zealand was designated as the global headquarters for Hella marine in 2004.

The NaviLED Navigation lamp series elevated our status as pioneers in marine lighting. One of our greatest accomplishments includes being the first company globally to secure the European ‘BSH’ compliance for a navigation light using LEDs, in the form of the NaviLED PRO series. 

The NaviLED series significantly transformed the Marine industry by offering energy-efficient LED lighting that is incomparably reliable and durable. From inception, Hella’s dedication to the environment has driven us to produce products designed to endure even the most rigorous conditions. This approach to design has positioned us as a trusted partner globally.
