about Stärke

Where we’ve come from

STÄRKE has its origins in grass-roots NZ construction, being a product of two family businesses which have been in the aluminium window fabrication game since the early ‘80s, being builders before that.

After being frustrated by the lack of development and improvements available to window systems in NZ, the two family businesses began designing their own system: the STÄRKE system. This gave us the agility to change and innovate being a fully end-to-end window and door company.

This agility was really shown when we launched the Ambiance uPVC system in 2022.

Now, STÄRKE Ambiance is creating warmer, drier & healthier homes around New Zealand.
