Formula

Formula is based in New Zealand.

Originally established in the mid-1980s, we are an import wholesale distribution business primarily focused on products for the automotive and consumer electronics markets. Since the mid eighties we’ve been amongst the New Zealand leaders when it comes to importing and distributing specialised products and accessories for the engineering and automotive markets. Working closely with major national distributors and with a nationwide network of regional distributors, we supply high calibre air tools, spray equipment, compressors and auto body repair products to ‘tradies’ and DIY enthusiasts alike. Formula Marketing has also developed and exclusively markets the unique Colorpak aerosol paint for convenient point-of-sale filling throughout New Zealand and Australia.
