"Artisan Paints: The shocking Truth About Being a Boutique Paint Manufacturer that's Proudly NZ-Made"
After nearly a decade of working with imported paints & products, we made a conscious decision to assemble a remarkable team of both creative and scientific minds. Together, we embarked on a journey to innovate from the ground up; Artisan Paints, a premium DIY paint that not only upholds the highest quality standards but also stands as a testament to sustainability and environmental friendliness, packed with superior-grade ingredients and raw materials. With this we often mention in our posts: Innovated, crafted and proudly made in NZ.
What that actually means is that each purchase of Artisan Paints supports a vast network of local businesses in New Zealand. From our team who make the paint, our creative team, the business who makes our sturdy boxes, the dedicated drivers and truck drivers delivering our paints far and wide, our local freight team, the skilled team who print our labels to perfection, the graphic designers, all the businesses where we source anything small to large from packing tapes, tins, jars, lids… right through to our Artisan retailers who work hard in their businesses to support and share the message of what Artisan Paints can do and to encourage creativity within NZ and that’s just to name a few of our small to medium sized business we work with where Artisan Paints has an impact… NZ businesses – they all benefit.
