Our Story

Drill Connex Limited, New Zealand was launched in April 2013 and it is a subsidiary of Inline Drilling Limited which was the largest surface drilling company in New Zealand at that time and had been for over 20 years.

Drill Connex was set up as a Distribution Company to support Drilling, Mining, Quarrying, Construction and Geotechnical Companies nationwide in New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Tahiti and Antarctica.

In 2019 Inline Drilling Limited sold all of its assets and contracts as it needed to focus on Drill Connex 100% of the time due to its significant growth and continuing demand for products and also experienced technical support.

In 2020 and 2021 many of the Drill Connex international suppliers requested that Drill Connex expand into the Australian territory and market their products in Australia as the New Zealand business model was such a success.

With the Australian and New Zealand parts of the business performing very well it is now time to positively support current and potential customers in the USA with quality and market dominant Pagani Geotechnical CPT Rigs and Equipment. We operate as a small group of experienced, knowledgeable and solutions-based people with a real passion for the industry and we suspect this has a lot to do with our success to date.
