Trade & Hardware Solutions.

Specialised fitouts for plumbing, electrical, building, and hardware retailers. From heavy-duty warehouse racking to premium trade showrooms.

Built for trade professionals.

Trade and hardware stores have unique requirements that generic retail solutions simply can't meet. UPO has extensive experience working with New Zealand's leading trade retailers to create environments that serve both trade professionals and retail customers effectively.

From industrial-strength racking capable of handling bulk timber and piping, to elegant showrooms displaying premium kitchen and bathroom fixtures, we understand the diverse demands of the trade sector. Our solutions balance extreme durability with professional presentation.

We've worked with plumbing, electrical, building supply, and hardware retailers across New Zealand to create stores that are efficient, organised, and safe. Every solution is engineered to meet New Zealand seismic standards and workplace safety requirements whilst maximising your available space.
