Hatuma Lime Company

520 Maharakeke Rd, Waipukurau

First established in 1932 by a group of Wellington market gardeners looking for a high grade of limestone they could rail to their gates. It was here in 1962 that Joe Topp made his first tonnes of Hatuma Dicalcic Phosphate® commercially available. His son, Clifford, started working at Hatuma in 1964 and took the product through the next thirty years, seeing the second millionth tonne sold. FuturepHos® is now manufactured at this site and transported throughout the North Island.

Waipawa Site

Tikokino Rd, Waipawa

Hatuma Lime Company established this quarry in 1957. It started manufacturing Hatuma Dicalcic Phosphate® from the 1970s to help supply the local market. Today product from this site is transported far and wide throughout the North Island.

Mauriceville Site

1331 Opaki Kaiparoro Rd, Mauriceville

Established in 1916, Mauriceville is the oldest lime company in the Wairarapa. Joe Topp had successfully managed the site between 1942 and 1952, so gladly took the opportunity to amalgamate it when it was offered by its Directors to Hatuma Lime Company in 1977. This site has since spent its time manufacturing and supplying Wairarapa, Wellington, Tararua and the West Coast of the North Island with lime and Hatuma Dicalcic Phosphate®
