OCTO

What OCTO does

Octo Group Limited (OCTO) is a privately-held New Zealand industrial and infrastructure services provider headquartered at 4 Alfred Street, Onehunga, Auckland. The company delivers a comprehensive suite of on-site services including road sweeping, linemarking, industrial coatings, asphalt repair, chip seal sweeping, traffic management, emergency spill response, ride-on mechanical scrubbing and sweeping, and walk-behind scrubbing across the greater Auckland metropolitan area. Customers span government entities (Auckland Council, Auckland Transport), civil contractors, commercial property managers, warehousing and industrial facilities, transport and logistics operators, and event management companies. OCTO operates a modern fleet of specialised equipment (vacuum sweepers, mechanical broom sweepers, ride-on scrubbers, air sweeping systems) and differentiates through required industry certifications (Amotai, CCNZ, Totika) and a Transform Awards ANZ 2023 Silver recognition for brand transformation.

The business traces its origins to 2013 (Vault Devanning) and grew through a combination of organic service launches and acquisitions: Industrial Property Services (2016), City Linemarking (2017), Bswept (2019), and Porters Contractors (2022). In June 2023, all subsidiaries were amalgamated under Octo Group Limited to unify operations and service delivery. The company monetises through professional service contracts with a Variable Fuel Factor (VFF) pricing mechanism that adjusts monthly against a $1.27/litre diesel price trigger, providing transparent fuel cost pass-through to clients. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to project scope, with a pay-as-you-go billing cadence. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach, toll-free phone (0800 828 584), website contact forms, and industry reputation, with no intermediary or reseller channels. The Hero Recruitment division was divested in 2022 to refocus on core industrial services, and Gavin Van Heerden was appointed General Manager in April 2025 after a decade with the group. No external funding, PE/VC backing, or parent company affiliations have been disclosed.
