Passion for colour

When it comes to colour, paint is about fashion, flexibility and function. The Resene Total Colour System offers this through a wide range of colour services, from colour tools through to special colour matches and complete colour scheme development by specialised staff. Resene’s interlinked full range of decorative, architectural and protective coatings allows for the same spectrum of colours to be achieved in a wide variety of products.

Driven by innovation

Since its inception in 1946 and the introduction of waterborne paint to a market starved of quality products in the 1950s, Resene has developed an extensive range of paints, coatings and finishes. Working hard to stay ahead of market trends, Resene has an international reputation as a leader in paint research and technology. Many products have been developed as a creative answer to a client’s problem and have set new standards for others.

Resene has been privately NZ owned and operated since it first started in a Wellington garage in 1946. Learn more about Resene and take a short site tour.  We have opportunities available to sell our products in other regions, register your interest here.

Working for a better tomorrow

Resene is well known for leading the development of environmentally sustainable surface coatings, from the underpinning innovation of waterborne paints to the introduction of non VOC tinters and low and non VOC paints. In 1996, Resene launched the first of a now extensive range of Environmental Choice products. Resene's commitment to this programme and our continuous development process will ensure that safer, professional quality paint is available to everyone.

Dedicated stores

The Resene ColorShop is where customers meet Resene. Resene ColorShops are staffed by trained retailers who excel in understanding not only the specifications of Resene’s wide product range, but also Resene product innovations and technology advances. But perhaps the Resene ColorShops’ most sought-after role is that they can offer colour and paint advice to all who walk through their door looking for inspiration and assistance. This network is backed up by an expert field sales team who can take that knowledge to site.

Resene Automotive & Light Industrial

Resene Automotive & Light Industrial began as Anglo Santano in 1980, when a small group of entrepreneurs spotted a gap in the market for automotive and industrial paints. The company enjoyed rapid growth, propelled by quality products and high market demand, becoming part of the Resene Group in 1995.

Made for movement

Today, Resene Automotive & Light Industrial are leading paint suppliers for a variety of commercial industries, with a range of coatings to meet every demand, with a special focus on ‘things that move’, such as cars, trucks, buses, planes, boats, diggers and machinery, and specialist waterborne light industrial products for machinery and furniture. Resene Automotive also supply all collateral products, including fillers and bog, solvents and sandpaper to primers/topcoats and spray painting equipment.

Best of international and local

Resene Automotive & Light Industrial pride themselves on bringing together a range of products that includes locally made coatings and global brands Cromax and Standox Refinish, and Imron Fleetline. The Fleetcare network of commercial vehicle repair and respray professionals provides a nationwide repair network for commercial vehicle fleet operators, ensuring consistency in fleet colours.

Made for harsh conditions

The coating solutions are formulated with harsh environmental conditions in mind. With the local market prone to increased UV exposure, changeable weather, wind and salt spray exposure, coatings need to perform in all conditions. Surface, industry and conditions all create unique demands on the products. Combining the knowledge of in-house chemists and professional spray painters in the development phase for new and improved products ensures that your needs are met.

Local support

The quality of the products is backed up by an extensive service network throughout New Zealand, with a specialist technical team to assist clients to specify and apply Resene products. The team also understand that time is money, and will train customer teams in their work environment with the equipment they are accustomed to minimising downtime and maximising productivity.

Unfettered by the day to day of business as usual, the Coating Technologies Group has a mandate to explore new technology options.

Expertise

Drawing on the vast technical knowledge of the Resene Group, the Coating Technologies Group has access to a huge range of experts, from paints, stains and coatings experts to colour technology experts, gathered together from around the globe in Resene’s R&D facility. Combining this knowledge with selected external collaboration teams and the generosity of customer insights, enables breakthroughs in technology adaption and adoption.

Tailor made solutions

While Coating Technologies Group generates its own new product developments, it also works with other product manufacturers and companies to develop solutions to their coatings needs. From innovative primers to clear finishes, paints to coatings, the customer’s problem drives the development of custom made paints and coatings, that can be evolved as the customer’s business evolves.

Smart technology

There is a world of technology out there just waiting for a creative mind to unleash its potential. One such technology is conductive coatings, a new active class of coatings where the coating can sense and react to stimulus. The first iteration of this technology is Resene SmartTouch conductive coating used as a basecoat under regular Resene topcoats that can be tapped to turn lights on and off reducing the need to fumble in the dark for a light switch.

Colour plus

Resene Total Colour System tinting technology is developed and manufactured in house, using formulations exclusive to Resene. An almost infinite array of colours can be tinted using combinations of these colourants. Their high concentration means less tinter is needed to achieve most colours providing more durable colour options that remain true to colour long after they are applied. These colourants are sought after internationally with Resene’s colour technology licensed off-shore.
