Our vision

To help New Zealand thrive - via a stable and trusted international building materials supply chain at the best price, and quality available.

Unrivalled Access & Value

Importing building materials from China is nothing new. However, those who are resourceful or brave enough to deal directly with China, can quickly come unstuck if they’re not dealing with the right people. While the allure of direct dealings with Chinese manufacturers exists, careful consideration and robust processes are necessary to mitigate risks and ensure consistent quality and delivery.

Our exclusive partnership with procurement specialist AUPUP, enables us to extend unparalleled buying power, quality, and range to the New Zealand construction industry on a significant scale.

Quality Assurance

Our partner AUPUP maintains a rigorous supplier pre-qualification program, evaluating aspects such as financial stability, brand reputation, quality management systems, after-sales service, R&D capabilities, and factory/production capacity. Regular monitoring and audits ensure adherence to these standards.

Additionally, International Building Supplies can engage reputable international third-party quality inspection companies to provide detailed inspection reports for your orders. These reports are reviewed by customers before goods are dispatched from the factory, ensuring transparency and quality assurance throughout the supply chain.

Benefiting from an extensive supplier network, many of our partners already export to key markets like Europe, the USA, and Australia, or serve as OEMs for recognised international brands. This familiarity with global quality expectations and adherence to international standards underscores our commitment to delivering excellence.

New Zealand support

In New Zealand, local support is crucial for the success of any project. With a focus on business-to-business oversight and quality assurance, our team is equipped with the necessary relationships and trusted connections. Our New Zealand and China based team provides the expertise to navigate the complex network of relationships, trust, and personal connections that are fundamental to business dealings in China.

Global Logistics

Global logistics is a critical aspect of the modern supply chain, ensuring the efficient and timely movement of goods across international borders. The IBS team in China plays a pivotal role in this domain, leveraging their local expertise to facilitate seamless procurement processes.
