Strouds are experts in product finishing. Their wealth of industry knowledge means that they are not only a supplier, but a partner in ensuring the best possible results and a reduction in costs through efficiency, reliability and repeatability of surface finishing applications. Strouds work with manufacturers big and small throughout New Zealand and also have a long list of overseas clients. “We cover everything,” says Strouds sales director Jason Lynch. “Painting your candy through to the white lines on the road, frigates, planes – you name it, we can create a system to coat it.” “We want to educate people on how to solve their finishing issues and increase their capabilities.” “We go onsite to do a Green Review – how to be most efficient and to cut waste. We spend time with our customers to streamline operations – getting more paint on the product, meaning less in the air or in leftover as waste. This is better for the environment and results in greater efficiency, which helps the bottom line.” It’s clear that for Jason and the team at Strouds, supplying finishing products is only part of the game. “We don’t do shoebox selling very well,” he says. “I’ve been doing this since 1978 and what fires me up is that new test, new requirement, new application. We have a partnership with our customers. They talk to us W A Stroud www.strouds.co.nz info@strouds.co.nz Phone 09 479 8860 34 April 2016 about their needs and requirements; they ask ‘how can we do this better?’ We come up with a solution, test it, and implement it.” “We have customers who understand the financial benefits of investing capital expenditure into efficient plant, instead of buying cheaper equipment as stop-gap measures. They see massive improvement in the quality of their finished products this way.” “We look after paint – the temperature, the colour, we control agitation and speed and that all leads to repeatability – your colours and finish are consistent,” Jason says. “We work with niche manufacturers in New Zealand, providing a quality solution to their manufacturing needs. We’ve also done paint lines in Russia, China, and Australia.” At EMEX this year, along with a whole raft of other products and solutions, Strouds will be showing DeVilbiss Intelligent Atomisation technology. Strouds is the exclusive dealer for the DeVilbiss and Binks finishing range. “These are high spec, high end finishers,” says Matthew Berry from Strouds. “We’ve always been their agent in New Zealand but in the last six months we’ve taken over the entirety of their finishing range.” For more than half a century, DeVilbiss has led the world in the development of advanced spray atomisation. With the development of Intelligent Atomisation, DeVilbiss has reset the bar with a system of total flexibility in air cap, fluid tip and needle set-ups for the GTi Pro range of air-spray guns. This brings unparalleled performance to professional refinishers with spray gun set-ups designed to ensure perfect atomisation, superb spray patterns and excellent flake orientation, for pinpoint accurate colour matching that conform to the ambient temperature of your body shop or spray booth, the humidity levels and even the operator’s spraying technique.
