SA Plumbing Supply
Manufacturers and Suppliers
About us
Established in 1951 as manufacturer representatives, this third-generation family-owned company has a continuing policy of representing specialist manufacturers of quality products for the plumbing and marine industries.
SA Plumbing Supply's parent company - Shipwright Agencies Ltd - experienced the marine sector weakening toward the end of the 1990s and thus diversified into the plumbing sector, specialising in niche products that were a point of difference from the norm.
In early 2014, Shipwright Agencies Ltd created a new brand - SA Plumbing Supply Ltd - to convey a name that had greater relevance to the plumbing industry. We are a small boutique company where you receive personalised service that goes the extra mile to get the best products without paying for an arm and a leg.
Quadro (Italy) was the first brand onboard during the Shipwright Agencies era in early 2000, specialising in stainless steel tapware with highly architectural origins and is Green to boot.
Over the years, SA Plumbing Supply has sourced quality European brands to introduce to the New Zealand market. Director Sean Paterson regularly travels to European Trade Shows, such as Salone del Mobile in Milan and ISH in Frankfurt, to ensure SA Plumbing Supply is at the forefront of leading product procurement.
In 2015, SA Plumbing Supply began marketing Goman (Italy) as a specialist supplier of accessible bathroom products that changed the perception of the disability market (accessible doesn't need to be ugly). Subsequently 2017, Hewi (Germany) increased the market share of highly architectural accessible products by introducing the System 900 range, which has set the standard for Hotels and luxury homes.
2018 saw the introduction of the Cinier range of Olycal Stone Radiators and LED Lighting. Cinier's Olycal Stone Radiators serve a functional purpose and double as art and lighting.
Following the ISH Trade Show of 2019, SA Plumbing Supply became the NZ distributor for EverLife Design (Italy) and Pellet (France). EverLife Design, in particular, has been well-received for its original concepts and simple lines.
In the winter of 2019, the Universal & Accessible Bathroom Design brand was created to address the bigger picture of Universal Design in the home. This showcases the best of all brands and looks for any budget.

WHO GOMAN IS
1960 – 2010
Established in 1960 by Renato Goglione as a small craftsman’s company in varnishing and coating, the company has from the start based its philosophy on quality and innovation, characteristics that have allowed it to quickly go beyond the limits of a craftsman’s workshop, to becoming one of the most original companies in its sector.
2010 – 2013
At present the Goman - Gover group employs more than 50 people, has 4 sales directors, 25 agents in Italy and it exports about 30% of its production to more than 20 European countries, thanks to the 6,000 square metres of its 4 production plants.
TODAY
Goman knocks down the aesthetic barrier usually present in homes for the elderly and in public places such as bars, restaurants, nightclubs and all locations where safety aids and accessories are required by law. Also in the family home, Goman is a guarantee of elegance and accessibility for all members of the family.
QUADRO
Italian certified quality
All our range of products are of guaranteed Italian origin. We don’t play bad tricks on the people who drink from our taps!
High quality raw materials
We only use CW617N certified brass and AISI304/316 stainless steel in order to guarantee quality and atoxicity. The latter is totally recyclable and atoxic, as it doesn’t undergo any galvanic treatment like brass and doesn’t contain lead.
Water savings
Every single product sports an areator which saves water bringing the flow down to 7 litres per minute. This means a very high water saving and environmental help. Tests showed a 20% reduction on water consumption in an average house: the earth and your wallet will thank you.
Quadro SRL is a small and dynamic company that is family-owned and doesn't want to be anything else. We have a small team that works to offer both quality products and a step-by-step assistance for those who want their wishes to come true.
Sanisplit
Sanisplit consists of a first water-collection unit, permanently fixed to the WC bowl and a second, removable, unit containing the operating mechanisim. In the case of clogging, blockage or mechanical fault, Sanisplit enables you to detach the removable unit from the fixed one without having to disconnect the WC bowl and all the collection of waste pipes.
Split System is the complete solution to every problem.
The wastewater collected from the pumping and grinding apparatus mostly contains solid organic residues, toilet paper and other similar residues normally treated by this type of products. However, unsuitable materials can clog the apparatus or cause malfunction, making maintenance work necessary.
Normally, for unclogging or doing any other work to repair mechanical failure, both the apparatus and the w.c. bowl have to be removed and all the pipes disconnected; this is a job that can only be done on the spot by a specialised technician, which means delays and higher costs.
The split-system macerator box unit
Sanisplit/Profisplit is a plastic box with a built-in pump that automatically grinds and discharges the hot water (up to 100°C), acid and grease water, body waste and toilet paper, originating from either the bathroom or the kitchen, through a small pipe with a diameter of 32 or 40 mm. into the nearest sewer. It can be fitted to any European Standard WC bowl with horizontal outlet.
Sanisplit/Profisplit consists of a first water-collection unit, permanently fixed to the w.c. bowl and a second, removable, unit containing the operating mechanisms. In the case of clogging, blockage or mechanical fault, Sanisplit enables you to detach the removable unit from the fixed one without having to disconnect the WC bowl and the collection and waste pipes.
Exchange Service
If the appliance is out of order for any reason, even caused by the user, an exchange unit will be supplied within 24 hours if requested before 1500 hours working days. Plumbers "call out" fees will apply. If the fault is due to manufacturing defects this fee will be refunded. Need more info then email us at: sales@sanisplit.co.nz.
