Equus Industries

Our Mission

"Through teamwork, to profitably manufacture and distribute the optimum in waterproofing and protective materials to the construction and allied industries."

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

Company 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.

Equus Industries manufactures and markets a wide range of high build waterproof finishes, textured coatings, and protective coatings under the brand names Chevaline, Traxx, Protexx, Thermexx and Equus. Our expertise is particularly in the areas of high build acrylic coatings and membranes, waterborne epoxies and high solids one and two component urethane coatings.

Equus Industries Limited is not directly involved in retail sales. Distribution of Equus products is normally to Certified Applicators who are familiar with and trained in the use of the Equus range of products either in part, as Specialist Applicators for product ranges within the Network, or in total for major Applicators and those working in smaller centres.

A close relationship between Equus Certified Applicators and Equus Industries ensures that there is full co-operation on site between the Manufacturer’s Supervisory/Technical Staff, and the Applicator’s own staff. Quality Assurance Programmes instituted by the Manufacturer are therefore meaningful, noting that programmes are generally written for individual contracts to take in all aspects of work on that particular contract. This facet of the operation is controlled by the Company Compliance Manager.

Equus Industries Limited has formed a firm association with a number of companies outside New Zealand. This ensures that we have the best possible products to fulfil market requirements, and meet our objective of availability of all protective materials required on a project, which can then be sourced from one supplier, generally through one Approved Applicator.

These companies include:

• Soprema N.V
• Schomburg GMBH & Co KG
• Recticel Insulation
• RPM – Belgium/Alteco
• Tremco CPG Australia Pty Ltd
• Danosa
• Keimfarben GMBH & CO KG
• Sealboss Concrete Solutions

In all cases, Equus Industries Limited has the distribution rights for the New Zealand Market.
