About

It all started when…

Andrew Giacon’s grandfathers Luigi Giacon and Giovanni Battista came to New Zealand from Italy in the 1920’s. They provided much of the terrazzo in our beautiful Art Deco town of Napier after the earthquake there. Andrew’s family have continued to make terrazzo in New Zealand ever since.

His Father Fred Giacon had a factory in Henderson for many years. His company was called Modtezz.

That’s 100 years of terrazzo history in NZ.

Andrew and Adrienne Giacon live in Point Chevalier, Auckland and just like Andrew’s ancestors, love family, great food, and aesthetic design.

Andrew is the terrazzo expert, he lives and breathes terrazzo. Collects stones wherever he sees them and follows everything in terrazzo design and passion.

Adrienne is Maori and Samoan and is passionate about working in a way that we can leave the planet a better place. That recycles, is sustainable for generations to come.

Our team are like an extended family- and we like it that way.

We love the great New Zealand outdoors, and have had the privilege of providing terrazzo and precast elements in many of our civic projects; Aotea Square, Auckland University, Wynyard Quarter. This spurs us on further in our commitment to continue to make decisions that makes our product greener and more sustainable wherever we can.
