Private investments
The organisations in the following pages demonstrate a solid
track record, with potential to grow in either domestic or
export markets and in some cases both. They meet Rangatira’s
criteria for investment over the mid to long term.
Our philosophy of spreading risk across sectors and
geographies is critical. All of these companies demonstrate
a strong customer-centred ethos balanced with a healthy
and focussed internal culture.

Auckland Packaging (APC) designs and manufactures
merchandising displays, in-store promotional
communications and cardboard packaging. The
6,000sqm production facility in East Tamaki, enables
a full range of in-house services from design to
cutting, printing, assembly, and packing.
Under Rangatira, APC has secured market share
through a focused strategy and investment, including
the acquisition of Jazz Print in 2021, a leader in
the production of collateral for the real estate and
automotive industries.
Rangatira sold this business in June 2025 to Blue Star
Group drawing to a close involvement with APC after
26 years of ownership. Over this period, we generated
a return of 10% per annum.
