About Us
Our History
Having commenced operations in 1988, the Powder Coating Group has amalgamated and disposed of businesses over time, and now operates:
REP Powder Coatings in Penrose
MetWood in Penrose
Having changed ownership in 2019 we are now going from strength to strength.
While continuing to focus on our core powder coating business, we have set about strengthening our product range to customers with the introduction of our first MetWood sublimation line in 2019, followed by a second, highly-automated machine in 2021.
We are committed to bringing new products to the market and work closely with our suppliers and customers on research & development projects.
We are a Kiwi owned business operated by a multi-cultural team bringing many skills and experiences into the business to give our customers the best service and results. Some of our staff have been with us since the 1990’s while others have joined us more recently including a number who have moved to NZ, bringing their skills and experience with them.
