Stoanz Ltd has represented the Sto brand exclusively in New Zealand since 1996. 

Sto SE & Co KGaA, one of the leading international manufacturers of products and systems for building coatings, has acquired its New Zealand sales partner Stoanz Ltd. The purchase agreement was signed on 14 March 2024. Stoanz has been Sto's exclusive sales partner in New Zealand since 1996 and has mainly generated turnover with facade systems in recent years. In addition to the three locations - the headquarters in Wellington and the two warehouse locations in Auckland and Christchurch - Sto is taking over 23 employees.

"We are delighted that Stoanz is now a wholly owned Sto subsidiary. The takeover supports our strategic goal of further expanding Sto's international market presence," emphasises Rainer Hüttenberger, CEO of STO Management SE, which manages the business of Sto SE & Co. KGaA as the personally liable partner. 

For Sto it is important to continue the successful path together with the Andersen family who will remain in the business to ensure a successful transition for the future.

Best regards, 

The Stoanz Team
