Para Rubber Lincoln Road - Henderson
About Para Rubber Lincoln Road
In September 1910 George Waldemar Skellerup opened the first Para Rubber shop in Christchurch with the slogan “We have it in stock, will Get it, or it isn’t made of Rubber”. He travelled the country to agricultural shows, using a large marquee hired from Dunlop to display a wide range of rubber goods.
In 1978 Skellerup took a controlling interest in Vitafoam, which now as Dunlop supplies most of the foam in New Zealand. This process was assisted by Clark Rubber, an Australian equivalent retailer to Para Rubber. Para also initiated and launched Water Consultants Ltd, a distributor of swimming pool chlorine. This led to the establishment of Para Pools, the generic name now for above ground pools in New Zealand.
Para Rubber was sold in the 1980’s and expanded to 40 stores. It became a victim of the stock market crash and the managers of the stores banded together to form a co-operative.
In 1996 Para Rubber was bought by Clark Rubber of Australia. The combined retail structure now totalled 65 retail stores offering an even greater merchandise diversification, purchasing power, and aggressive new direction and modern retailing methods. The company was changed into a Franchise, and managed under that structure until 2009.
In 2009 Para Rubber was purchased by Para Rubber NZ Ltd from Clark Rubber of Australia and is now completely back in Kiwi hands. In the medium term will see an increase in stores and will leverage of the century old iconic brand.
Remaining loyal to it’s roots, Para Rubber is determined to provide the best and most comprehensive range of rubber, foam, pool and associate products at consistently competitive prices, through high quality retail service to you, our customer.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My first time visiting this branch was very bizarre. When I was approached by a elderly staff member I asked her where to find a particular item and was then blatantly ignored. I then proceeded to look for this item myself and was met with very strange and rude remarks which I could only assume were directed at me as I was the only one in store (hardly surprising) assuming these remarks were racial I decided to leave and told her to have a good day with a big smile which resulted in more strange muttering accompanied with the attitude and body language of a 5 year old not getting their way. As a frequent customer of the Mt wellington branch I was disappointed and a little disgusted. The staff there are great and have never had any issues.if my grandmother displayed the same kind of customer service I'd be ashamed. Someone please find this poor miserable woman a more suitable job?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Got my campervan foam bedding and covers made and cut here. Incredible customer service. Tina (store manager) was fantastic from start to finish advising me on different options within my budget and being super patient and understanding of my requirements where other shops I had contacted were super unhelpful. She made covers to fit the foam pieces which were cut to the measurements of my van and then made more adjustments after they didn't quite fit. Can't recommend this shop enough, customer service how it should be. Thanks Tina!
