A Brief look at Macalister Group

Macalister Group was founded in 1927 by Thomas Alton Macalister and to this day the company still honours our founder’s name.

Originally specialising in Pharmaceutical products Macalister Group changed their focus to photographic products in 1933

In 1958 Macalister Group became the Distributor for Nikon Photographics and Binoculars for New Zealand, a position we still proudly uphold, making Macalister Group the longest serving distributor for Nikon in the Asia Pacific Region.

Today the company is still privately owned and is supported by a staff of 24 throughout Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
