We're expanding into renewable horticultural and sustainable industrial products. Earthtwine's biodegradable twines are already replacing conventional plastics across New Zealand and Australian growing operations.
The acquisition of Elite Tunnels in 2023 established a foothold in the UK market for the Tapex Group. We continue to look for well-run businesses in regions where our sector knowledge gives us an edge.
We reinvest in the businesses we own. New manufacturing capability, stronger distribution networks, and the people to run them. That's how we build lasting value.
Tapex Group backs causes it believes in, from hearing loss, medical research, Indigenous education and family safety. The Rossi Foundation enables much of that work, alongside direct partnerships like The Shepherd Centre, So They Can and local community sponsorships.
The Rossi Foundation
Established by Company Principal Philip Rossi in 2007, The Rossi Foundation is Tapex Group's vehicle for giving back. It supports charities working in hearing loss support, cancer and major disease research, Indigenous education, and women's refuge services.
The Shepherd Centre
Tapex Group is a proud supporter of The Shepherd Centre, a not-for-profit helping children with hearing loss develop spoken language and listening skills. Founded in 1970, The Shepherd Centre now supports over 900 families across Australia, with more than 90% of graduates achieving the same spoken language levels as their hearing peers by school age.
So They Can
Tapex Group partners with So They Can, an Australian-founded charity working to give children in East Africa access to quality education. Through direct partnerships with government schools in Kenya and Tanzania, So They Can currently reaches over 55,000 children across 55 schools.
