About Us

FERN360 was born out of a desire to offer an easily accessible family of quality products, with a supporting website that is easy to navigate and understand, as well as a user-friendly online ordering system. The company name FERN360 reflects not only our pride in our New Zealand roots, but also our vision of being an internationally recognised and trusted global brand.

Supplying the international market, our range of technology products includes alarms, automatic bollards, vehicle barriers, cable, intercoms, pool lighting, LED lighting products, speakers, speed-gates and turnstiles, video conference and video management systems, as well as access control, audio, automation, lighting, security and surveillance equipment. We offer state-of-the-art, leading-edge products at the forefront of the latest technological advances. Innovation and creativity are core beliefs of our organisation.

We are New Zealand-Australian owned and operated, delivering advanced, yet competitive, products internationally. With our head office in Auckland, New Zealand, FERN360 represents a professional and trusted brand, offering an experienced, honest and reliable alternative supplying the wholesale security and electrical industries. Established and managed by well-respected industry experts, the FERN360 staff are knowledgeable, experienced and up-to-date with current trends in this rapidly evolving industry.

We promote a team approach, working alongside our customers (both direct and indirect) and creating long term relationships, as well as utilising our professional expertise to ensure the best solutions are available for your next project. We also appreciate that efficient logistics is important to the success of your business and we are committed to ensuring timely communication and smooth delivery of your product.

We highly value our distributors, so clearly-defined, appropriately-sized territories are set up to support them. You won’t see any wholesale pricing online as we recognise and respect the importance of channels-to-market in the provision of quality service and support. We see these as win-win strategies!

Our product range is produced in factories all over the world including New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, China, Taiwan and Canada. A number of our products are unique to FERN360, integrating our own intellectual property and designs. Our aim is to provide excellent value-for-money products, identifying innovative products to introduce into the international market.
