For over 65 years, Resene has forged a reputation of excellence and quality in manufacturing products designed to meet the demanding standards of architectural and building industry professionals.

The Resene product range includes paint and specialist coatings for residential and commercial buildings formulated and made in New Zealand for our harsh environmental conditions. To help building professionals keep abreast of new developments in our product range we have an innovative range of architectural services and reference materials, including technical and specification manuals, the Total Colour System, samples and online information.

As well as the standard product range, Resene tailor make new products and coating systems to suit specific projects and clients.  We relish a challenge!

Working hard to stay ahead of market trends, Resene has an international reputation as a leader in paint research and technology. Resene is renowned for its environmental friendliness.  To reinforce this position we joined the Environmental Choice Programme in 1996 and have launched many innovative waterborne products, such as Resene CoolColour technology to reduce heat buildup, Resene Zylone Sheen VOC Free (hyperlink to http://www.resene.co.nz/archspec/datashts/d302_Zylone_Sheen_Acrylic.pdf)  to provide a desirable low sheen interior finish without unwanted volatile organic compounds and Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen, a tough waterborne enamel ideal for all interior broadwall areas including wet areas. 

When it comes to colour, paint is all about fashion. Colours come and go with changing trends. Flexibility in colours, colour tools and colour scheme development is paramount. The Resene Total Colour System offers this flexibility through a wide range of colour services, including the unique The Range fandeck collection showcasing the latest fashion colours and the popular whites and neutrals collection.

Sophisticated tinting technology enables Resene to produce durable colour options that remain true to colour long after they have been applied. Interlinked systems for decorative and high performance coatings allow you to achieve the same spectrum of colours in a wide variety of products.  Resene decorative tinters are non VOC so you can get your colours tinted without adding unwanted volatile organic compounds.
