About Exacta

Exacta Manufacturing Limited was established in 1973 as a small business run from the home of Aubrey and Beatrice Ritchie. It was set up to specialise in the production of Plate Heat Exchangers and to compete with the larger International companies.

With a single range of Heat Exchangers manufactured and being run from their own residence, this enabled the company to offer their products at very competitive prices. Added to that Aubreys many years of experience with Heat Exchangers at other companies here in New Zealand and his vast Engineering knowledge, this ensured the quality of the Heat Exchangers manufactured would be incredibly high. As a result Exacta was able to produce and offer excellent quality units that many larger companies could not compete with for value. In 1992 Leigh Dowie was employed to learn the business and help relieve some of the pressure of managing a successful International company.

Within a few years the complete day to day running of the company was my responsibility. Learning directly from the owners and creators of the company was an incredible help. Years of experience passed on in every aspect of small business practice was invaluable. Being introduced to and establishing relationships with local New Zealand customers and our International export customers ensured everyone would still receive the same high quality of products and service from myself that they had received in years past.

In 2006 Exacta Manufacturing Ltd was purchased by Leigh and Jenny Dowie. It has remained the small family business it was established as. Providing high quality products with service to match and pricing that will always remain competitive is still the basis of what Exacta stands for. Although the product range has expanded the guarantee of great products and service remains the same.

Whether you are a local New Zealand business or located anywhere worldwide, if you have any Plate Heat Exchanger requirements I am sure we can design and provide the perfect unit for you.
