| WINSTONE WALLBOARDS LTD |
| The name Gibraltar Board, or Gib Board as it is now commonly known, is unique to New Zealand.. The origins go back to the 1930s when the fledgling wallboard company decided that a strong brand name was needed to identify the new plaster board product. A competition was held for staff to suggest a suitable name, with 10 pounds in cash offered as the prize. The winning suggestion was Gibraltar Board, selected because it stood for strength and permanence - as in the Rock of Gibraltar. |
