Business
The Colonial Motor Company Limited (CMO.NZ), founded in 1911 and headquartered at 89 Courtenay Place in Wellington, New Zealand, operates as a leading NZX-listed automotive dealership group with 19 outlets nationwide serving retail and commercial customers across passenger cars, light commercials, heavy trucks, agricultural equipment, and motorcycles; its core offerings include 12 Ford-franchised dealerships--seven of which also hold Mazda franchises--selling new and used vehicles alongside parts and servicing, distribution and retailing of Kenworth and DAF heavy-duty trucks through Southpac Trucks Ltd, New Holland, Kubota, and Case IH tractors and equipment via Agricentre South Ltd in Southland, multi-brand light vehicle dealerships encompassing Suzuki, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Isuzu Utes, Peugeot, Citroen, Mahindra, and the recently expanded JAC Motors range, plus motorcycle franchises for Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and BMW via Avon City Motorcycles Ltd. Subsidiaries such as Avon City Motors Ltd, Capital City Motors Ltd, Dunedin City Motors Ltd, Energy City Motors Ltd, Fagan Motors Ltd, Hutchinson Motors Ltd, Ruahine Motors Ltd, and South Auckland Motors Ltd support its nationwide presence in the competitive New Zealand automotive sector, where it targets metropolitan, rural, and agribusiness markets amid a shift toward hybrid and Chinese-sourced products. Recent developments include securing the Mitsubishi franchise in Manukau, South Auckland, under the new Manukau Autos dealership in May 2025 with Southern Autos relocating its hub to Botany Road, ongoing strategic investment in JAC Motors despite market competition, completion of the Fagan Motors rebuild in Masterton, opening of a new Avon City Ford facility in Rangiora, property acquisition in Queenstown for expansion, and reporting a stable trading profit after tax of NZ$17.83 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, matching the prior year amid patchy new vehicle demand offset by strong used car sales.
