Founded in 1972 and based in Auckland, Manson Anchors began with the aim of manufacturing anchors suitable for the harsh conditions of New Zealand.
By 1985, Manson was New Zealand's largest anchor manufacturer and started exports to Australia and the Pacific Rim.
In 1990, the Manson Plough became recognized as the most popular anchor in Australasia and has since grown in reputation ultimately respected as a true 'World Class Anchor'.
