Equus Industries is a New Zealand-owned manufacturer and distributor of high-performance waterproofing and protective coating systems. Established in 1982 in Blenheim as a specialist coatings manufacturer, we have expanded steadily to support the construction industry nationwide with reliable, technically driven solutions for long-term building performance.

Today, we work closely with architects, specifiers, engineers, property managers, and contractors, providing trusted systems for waterproofing, roofing, tanking, flooring, and protective coatings. What began as a specialist coating manufacturer has grown into a company delivering comprehensive protection solutions for buildings from sub-basement to roof level.

Our Mission

This mission continues to guide our development, innovation, and commitment to exceptional technical support.

Our Values

• Integrity & Trust: We stand behind our products, our people, and our partners. For over 40 years, Equus has built a reputation for reliability, honesty, and long-term relationships across the construction sector.
• Technical Excellence: Our foundation as a specialist coatings manufacturer drives our focus on quality and performance. All products are manufactured under strict quality assurance systems, supported by our in-house laboratory and decades of industry experience.
• Partnership & Collaboration: We believe the best results come from working closely with architects, applicators, suppliers, and project teams — supporting each project from design through installation.
• Continuous Improvement: From research and development to customer service, we pursue better processes, more durable solutions, and ongoing innovation, ensuring our systems meet evolving building demands.

Global Partnerships

To ensure we can offer best-in-class systems across a wide range of applications, Equus partners with leading global manufacturers. These relationships allow us to bring advanced technologies to New Zealand where local manufacturing is not feasible or where specialist systems are required.

Other Global Suppliers

In addition to Soprema, we work with specialist international manufacturers where unique technologies or systems complement our in-house capabilities. These partnerships broaden our offering and ensure architects and specifiers have access to robust, proven solutions.
