About Kilwell Sports
The 2nd Generation 
John L Wells' sons Jeremy (left) and John G. (right) purchased the company in 1965 as John Snr was very unwell at the time and chose to retire.
A couple of years later, in 1968, Kilwell Fibretube was established, the first company in Australasia to produce tubular fiberglass and rod blanks for the domestic and export markets. This opened up a full range of the latest fishing rods to the New Zealand angler – a new era had begun.
Over the decades, along with fishing rod blanks, Fibretube produced a multitude of other sporting equipment including rowing oars, yachting components, squash racquet shafts for Dunlop, Slazenger, and Spalding, as well as tubing for aerospace, mining, and industrial applications.
