Our Services
Brown International supports New Zealand manufacturers with more than just materials; we provide technical services that help you specify, apply, and maintain PTFE and silicone solutions correctly in demanding production environments.
Technical support and application advice
Our team works directly with engineers, production, and maintenance teams to match PTFE tapes, coated fabrics, belts, and silicone rubber to specific machinery, line conditions, and compliance requirements, helping to solve non‑stick, sealing, and wear issues efficiently. We assist with product selection, troubleshooting, and performance optimisation for packaging, food processing, plastics, electronics, construction, and other industrial sectors across New Zealand.
Custom slitting and sizing
We offer custom slitting and sizing of PTFE adhesive tapes, coated fabrics, and belts so rolls, strips, and sheets arrive ready to install on your equipment, reducing waste, trimming, and downtime on site. This includes narrow rolls for heat seal jaws, wider rolls for liners, and cut‑to‑size belt and fabric formats aligned to your machine dimensions and process needs.

As the exclusive NZ distributor for Saint‑Gobain Performance Plastics and Tape Solutions, Versiv Composites, and Taconic, we source PTFE and silicone materials directly from global manufacturers and help match their product ranges to your local operating environment. We can work from existing specifications or help you define thickness, grade, and construction requirements for new or upgraded equipment.

We focus on dependable, ongoing supply for New Zealand production sites, backed by responsive communication and support via our sales and technical teams. Whether you need replacement tapes and belts, alternative materials for new lines, or assistance standardising specifications across multiple plants, we aim to provide fast, practical solutions that keep your operations running.
