Stanton Chase International

Stanton Chase Auckland office was founded in 2001 as Executive Recruiters International Ltd. As one of the founding Principals of the firm, Pierre le Noel was determined to establish an executive search practice which would operate as a solution provider to its clients. Operating in the executive search and selection market in New Zealand for a period of fifteen years prior to this date, Pierre had already established a sound reputation for quality of service.

In recent years, a number of clients had progressed from being exporters of product to establishing joint ventures and their own subsidiaries in other markets. In recognition of this growing trend and demand from clients to provide a similar level of service in these countries, the principals moved to join Stanton Chase in early 2004.

Based in Auckland, the main business hub for New Zealand, we work throughout New Zealand and in the Pacific region. Our Consultants bring extensive experience in executive search and management consulting and, together with a dedicated research department, allow us to offer a range of consulting services to clients across a breadth of industries. We provide search solutions for middle and senior executive through to CEO and Board of Director positions.

Thermakraft Industries (NZ) Ltd

Thermakraft Industries (N.Z.) Ltd has been an active member of the LANZBC (Latin American Business Council).  We have featured in numerous trade fairs in Chile, Peru and Argentina.

Thermakraft Industries (N.Z.) Ltd has been manufacturing construction membranes including Reflective Aluminium Foil Insulation for over 24 years.  We have a wide interest in associated lines of Plastics, Window Flashing Products and Self Adhesive P.V.C. Plastic & Foil Tapes.  Due to our developing market we manufacture Damp Proof Courses as a moisture vapour barrier to prevent the rise of moisture on housing where timber and concrete comes into contact.  12 years ago we diversified into supply of Fibreglass Segments and Building Insulation Blankets.  The latter because of our commercial commitments is the type that we specialised in.  We also developed technology to machine laminate Thermabar Reflective Foils to Fibreglass Blanket.  We specialise in laminating 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm and 200mm Fibreglass to our foils and currently export this to the pacific region. 

Three years ago Thermakraft invested a large sum of dollars in a new Tri-Laminating Plant which is the only Non-Woven Lamination Plant for construction products in Australasia.  This machine provides a breathable film laminated between two layers of high tensile white (light reflecting) polypropylene non-woven.  Our product “Covertek” is now produced in three popular weights.  Its advantage over other forms of roofing and wall wraps is numerous with the main reasons of choice rot resistant, unaffected by moisture or water and high hold-out but breathable.  The ideal secondary water and vapour barrier for industrial and domestic construction.
