Looking to expand the services you offer to your existing clients?
ecoFINISH and Aquaphobix are now available in New Zealand, and we are looking for suitable operators across the country to become exclusive applicators of one or both brands in their region.
Get new work from your existing customers
You already stand in front of the right clients. If your work is pools, the owners you serve will need resurfacing sooner or later. If your work is hulls, the boats you haul carry antifoul that needs redoing. Taking on ecoFINISH or Aquaphobix means you quote that job yourself – and because both brands are applied only by certified applicators, the work stays with the people who trained for it.
Two brands, one manufacturer, one skillset
ecoFINISH has made flame-sprayed polymer coatings in Pennsylvania since 2008 – 250+ installers across 60 countries apply them today. Aquaphobix came from inside that network: built by ecoFINISH’s largest pool dealer, who took the same system to boat hulls and secured the marine rights.
One manufacturer, one flame-spray skillset, two markets – and ACD holds the exclusive New Zealand rights to both. ACD’s job here is the network, not retail: territories, training, and a warranty honoured locally.
What ACD puts behind you
Regional exclusivity
A protected region, agreed in writing. The enquiries ACD generates in your area come to you.
Training & certification
Full training on the flame-spray system before you quote your first job – the finish is only as good as the applicator, so the training is not optional.
Warranty support
The product warranty is honoured by ACD in New Zealand. When you stand in front of a client, the distributor stands behind you.
Brand & lead generation
ACD promotes both brands to pool and boat owners nationally – and when someone in your region enquires here, that enquiry comes to you.
Check the job economics
Pools, per job
- Crew of two, an average pool in about 3 days
- No subcontractors – the job stays under your control
- ~23kg of material where a cement finish needs ~680kg
- Cures on application – fill and balance the same day
Figures: ecoFINISH’s Australian distributor, operating since 2013.
Hulls, the opportunity
- Copper-free – nothing leaching into the water around the hull
- Power-washable, even underwater – fewer haul-outs
- Being proven in New Zealand conditions now – the Tauranga trial reports in spring 2026
- Early territories allocated ahead of the trial results
Performance figures follow the New Zealand trial – ask ACD what can be shared today.
Choose your market – or take both
Pool trade
If you build, renovate or resurface pools: aquaBRIGHT and polyFIBRO are the flame-applied finishes behind 250+ installers in 60 countries, and certification puts them on your quote sheet.
Marine trade
If your work is boatyard services, marine painting or hull care: a copper-free foul-release with copper bans already arriving overseas. The Tauranga trial reports in spring 2026 – and your region can be taken now, ahead of the results.
Taking both puts two markets on one certification path – ask ACD how much of the training transfers between the brands.
