For over 150 years Johnson & Couzins has been providing people with protection from the elements. Our story begins during New Zealand’s gold rush days, in 1866 when the early prospectors looking for riches needed tents, tarpaulins, horse-covers and twine. We supplied them and even dressed Central Otago’s men in oilskin fashioned into coats or trousers.
That early success led us to make anoraks for Antarctic explorers, providing protection when and where it was needed. Times have changed and with it the products needed to enjoy the great outdoors. Today we’re still protecting people from the elements with our range of SkyLouvres, canopy awnings, shade sails, umbrellas and screens.
While Messrs Johnson, Couzins and their families are no longer involved in the business, Johnson & Couzins is proudly 100% New Zealand owned – and still very much a family business.
We’re proud to be one of New Zealand’s oldest companies, investing in our future by designing and manufacturing our products here in New Zealand. One of our innovations is New Zealand’s very first fully retractable louvre – the Concertina SkyLouvre.
Today Johnson & Couzins products can be found across New Zealand in homes, commercial premises and hospitality spaces. An expansion into Australia in 2014 means Johnson & Couzins outdoor living solutions are now being sold to our friends across the ditch.
So enhance your living, and your lifestyle, with a Johnson & Couzins outdoor living solution designed just for you.
