Our Story
Family-owned, Ashburton-based, since 2016 - we're a Kiwi family business that got tired of products that don't deliver, so we started making our own.
STRATACOTE
Going strong since 2016
Stratacote was founded in Ashburton in 2016 with a straightforward goal - find the surface protection products that actually work in New Zealand conditions, and make them available to every contractor and homeowner in the country.
New Zealand's climate is tough on surfaces. The moss, the moisture, the UV, the freeze-thaw cycles; most generic products weren't built for it. We were.
Ten years on, we're still family owned, still based in Ashburton, and still backing every product we sell with the confidence that comes from using them ourselves. We don't stock anything we wouldn't put on our own roof, driveway, or concrete.
Simple. Transparent. No shortcuts.
That's how we've built lasting relationships with contractors, councils, and homeowners from Invercargill to Northland. And it's how we intend to keep operating.
