The Story of New Zealand's Favourite Insulation
Made in New Zealand... that’s our strength
Take it from me, Pink® Batts® insulation is purpose-built for our famous (some might say fickle) local conditions. We have been around in New Zealand for over 50 years and you can be pretty sure we’ve learned a thing or two about the best way to keep a Kiwi home warm, dry, happy and healthy. But since 1961, we haven’t stopped looking for new ideas in product design and plant efficiency either. Today’s Pink® Batts® has evolved over the years and is now better than ever thanks to a lot of fresh thinking and new technology.
At Pink® Batts®, our goal is to care for this home too.
We’re a Kiwi company with a passion for Aotearoa. After all, we live here too and want to do our bit to ensure future generations can enjoy all that’s great about New Zealand, always. That’s why we’re constantly looking at our plant and processes to see if further improvements can be made to reduce impact on the environment and to increase our already high safety standards.
We are tickled pink to hold an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for our efforts too. That just shows how seriously we take our job of making something that not only works really well, but also performs brilliantly in areas such as water conservation, energy efficiency and of course, using recycled content. One of the things we’re most proud of is that Pink® Batts® insulation is made from over 80% recycled glass.
New Zealand. Always.®
Caring for New Zealand homes since 1961.
