New Zealand's collision repair equipment specialists.
Auto Body Equipment supplies, installs and services the equipment that New Zealand's panel shops run on — led by our long-standing partnership with Nova Verta and Spanesi, the Italian manufacturer behind some of the world's best downdraft spraybooths.
Over 100 years of combined booth experience.
A spraybooth is the centrepiece of any paint shop. Choosing the wrong one costs you every day — in bake cycles, in rework, in energy. ABE exists to make that decision straightforward: quality global equipment, matched to the New Zealand marketplace and backed by people who install and service it themselves.
Our relationship with Nova Verta fits that model exactly. Founded in 1968 and based in Arezzo, Italy, Nova Verta has spent nearly 40 years engineering downdraft spray-painting equipment — sold today in over 70 countries, and used by vehicle and boat manufacturers, training centres and Formula One teams.
Everything we offer is designed to be customised. Sideways movement along a rail system, extra-long and tall cabins for bigger vehicles, or a completely bespoke industrial build. We take care of the whole project — from the first sketch to the certification after commissioning.
