Nuplex Contractors Federation is a legally incorporated society governed by a formal constitution and managed by an Executive Committee comprising representatives from all sectors of the industry and all areas of New Zealand.

In 1968, with the support of the manufacturer (then trading as Revertex), existing applicators already sourcing specialist finishes were encouraged to amalgamate to form a group known as the Revertex Applicators Federation – later to become the Nuplex Contractors Federation following a company name change in 1991.

From small beginnings with 13 foundation members the Federation has prospered and strengthened to a membership of around 200 contractor members spread throughout New Zealand. The Federation is now recognised as New Zealand’s largest body of licensed contractors.

Membership of the Federation provides a fellowship of contractors with common interests and expertise, regular exchange of information and experience, and cooperation on large-scale construction projects.

All work undertaken by Federation members is backed by The Protection Fund set up and funded by members to implement contractual or warranty commitments should a member cease to operate. Members are encouraged to attend training programmes to keep their skill levels at the forefront of the industry and are regularly audited to ensure the standards of workmanship remain high.
