OUR HISTORY
For over fifty-years TWL has forged a hard-earned reputation as New Zealand’s leading supplier of transport parts and equipment solutions.
how we started
In 1966 Les Cleveland founded TWL with the vision of being a reliable supplier of transport parts and equipment solutions in New Zealand. Over the years, TWL has grown into a fast-moving parts network that serves a diverse range of customers from road transport fleets, repair workshops, and logistics companies to the general public and farming community.
We merged with our sister company, Transpecs, in 1986 to make the most of the synergies between our businesses. The supply of quality parts goes hand-in-hand with setting truck and trailer units up precisely for load weight and function. Together, we’re the perfect fit.

At TWL, we’re hard-wired to anticipate market needs. 100% Kiwi grown, with the reach and analytics to drive smart procurement and stock holding. Up-to-date data by customer, fleet, and region means that we’ve got the right parts in the right places more often to deliver seamless supply.
