Harding Traffic Ltd, established in 1959 as H.K.M Industries Ltd, has been a cornerstone in New Zealand's traffic control industry for over six decades.
Initially, the company was involved in manufacturing the first electronic sewing machines in New Zealand under the Bernina brand. In 1966, the company rebranded to Harding Signals, reflecting its shift towards electronic traffic signalling—a field in which it supplied and installed over 80% of New Zealand's traffic signals over a 34-year period.
Today, Harding Traffic has evolved into a comprehensive traffic management company, offering expertise in the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of traffic systems, electronic road signage, variable message signs (VMS), SmartStud systems, car park solutions, and vehicle analytics. Our clientele includes the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), local authorities, commercial enterprises, and contractors.
Demonstrating a steadfast commitment to quality and safety, Harding Traffic holds certifications in AS/NZS 4801 Health and Safety Management, ISO 9001 Manufacturing Quality, and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems. These credentials underscore our dedication to delivering reliable, innovative, and environmentally responsible traffic management solutions across New Zealand.
