Over 16,000 strong and counting, our Member's clout gives us the power to negotiate exclusive pricing and terms of supply with New Zealand’s leading Suppliers. Our group buying power means our Members can save on just about everything they need to run
their business.
We serve all industries, including; education, health, government & community, manufacturing, construction, business services, utility, wholesales & retail trade, arts & recreation,
transport & distribution, accommodation & food service, and primary industries.
The ‘3‘ represents our three key stakeholders – Members, Suppliers and n3. Our combined power is greater than the sum of our parts.
‘n3’ signifies the opportunity for growth in Supplier sales and Member savings.
‘n’ symbolises the numbers, and our focus on clear value to our Suppliers and Members.
We started off as GSB (Government Stores Board) - a government agency getting better deals for all the government departments. Over the years our business has evolved as we moved into the private sector and introduced more Suppliers and Members from a wide range of industries. To reflect our growing and diversifying Member base, we changed the name of our business to n3 in November 2013 - it's a little bit catchy, a little bit clever and a lot more relevant.

“Pranil had clearly considered our needs as an organisation and was looking not only to check in but to see how n3 could add more value to us. I was very impressed.” - Gretta
