What does it really mean to be NZ Made? As part of the largest supplier of windows and doors in the country, our commitment to 'all things local' began when APL did. In this seven-part podcast series, APL dive deep into the craft, care, and commitment behind our windows and doors - from the people who know it best.

APL began in the heart of the Waikato in 1971, by a local family. Fast forward to today and we're still family-owned and Waikato based and have since built a nationwide network and several respected brands, including Vantage Windows and Doors. For over 40 years Vantage has been working with architects, designers and homeowners across New Zealand. All Vantage manufacturers are independently owned and operated with local knowledge and relationships.
