Glowing like a paint box in a dazzling palette of colours, a two-storeyed building in Lower Hutt is the head office of New Zealand's largest privately-owned and operated paint manufacturing company, Resene Paints Limited. The bold colours symbolise the dynamic business enthusiasm yet careful underlying decision-making long associated with Resene.

The company, established in 1946, is today an international company with manufacturing operations in Australia and Fiji and local production plants in Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Tauranga and Auckland.

Resene products extend through a full range of paint and specialist coatings for residential and commercial buildings, marine, heavy industrial, road marking, automotive and agricultural use.
