About Us
2004 Aaron unloading the first ever Storepro container
Like many Kiwi companies, Storepro began with some good old Kiwi ingenuity.
Back in 2004, in an industry renowned for just “flogging steel” Aaron began Storepro Solutions with one goal in mind – to provide complete racking solutions that improved business productivity. We achieve this by considering the customer’s needs with every decision we make.
That goal, coupled with in-depth product knowledge of the New Zealand market has seen Storepro go from strength to strength.
17 years later, we may be bigger than our humble beginnings, but the honest, friendly and innovative approach hasn’t changed since day one.
We’re proud to be New Zealand owned and operated and we genuinely care about going the extra mile to get it right for our customers, the first time and every time.
We’re small enough to care,
but big enough to deliver.
Why Choose Storepro?
No matter the size or scale of your project our experienced team wants to work with you. We love to collaborate, really understand your business needs and what you do. Our storage systems are customer-focused and uncompromising in both quality and safety standards.
We understand that the right storage solution can make a huge difference to your warehouse’s efficiency, maximise the capacity of your available storage space and ultimately improve your bottom line.
Our racking and shelving systems are independently selected by Aaron and carefully engineered from high-performance steel tested locally, to suit the most demanding conditions. We provide only the safest, best designed, most innovative, and highest quality products on the market.
We’re proud to be the largest 100% New Zealand owned and operated business in our industry. With over 200 years of experience combined in our passionate and energetic team – we believe no one knows the industry or New Zealand regulations better.
We provide an end-to-end service that includes project management, design, supply, compliance facilitation, installation, maintenance, leasing or rent-to-own options, repairs, and audits.
We also buy and sell second-hand. So, if you’ve got old and redundant racking that you no longer require, there’s a chance we can take it off your hands. Through our business, Surplus Racking, we can offer a trade-in service.
Most importantly of all, we build relationships, not just racking. Some might say, we’re the full package.
But don’t just take our word for it… Over the years we’ve installed our racking solutions in thousands of New Zealand warehouses. Our client list includes many of the country’s biggest and most recognised brands, extending from logistics to FMCG, to factories, and everything in between.
“We just did an install last week. Went like clockwork… they even vacuumed the floor afterwards. Because of the way Storepro perform – that’s why I keep using them”

Our Story
Like many Kiwi companies Storepro had humble beginnings.
Starting out in a room at the back of his garage, Aaron Young established Storepro in 2004 with a clear goal in mind – to provide complete racking solutions that improve business productivity.
Since day one, we’ve strived to live up to the ‘pro’ in our name. To be a business that leads the way in innovative and customer-focused storage systems. One that’s uncompromising in its quality and safety standards. Yet, a business that’s personal and approachable too.
It’s an ethos that still shapes the way we do business.
“Innovation has been the key to Storepro’s success. I realised early on that we needed to do more than just flog a product. Anyone can do that. The objective was always to provide racking solutions that made our clients more productive – increasing their storage and flow efficiencies through simple, compliant and clever warehouse fit out, design and technology.”
– Aaron Young
Managing Director
Operating with those founding principles in mind, Storepro has grown to become New Zealand’s largest privately-owned pallet racking and industrial shelving company. Our client list is extensive, covering a full spectrum of industries from 3PL’s to food to factories, and we’ve been involved in hundreds of major storage projects. We take pride in knowing that many of our clients have been with us for years, growing their business alongside ours.
There’s a few more of us now too. Today, our team has over 40 staff who offer more than 200 years of combined industry experience. We have branches and distributers throughout the country, ensuring extensive coverage throughout Auckland, Waikato, Central North Island, and the South Island.
And yet we’re still the same approachable and down to earth Kiwi company that Aaron began back in 2004.

Our Values
We’re proud to be New Zealand owned and operated and we genuinely care about our customers, the jobs we do for them and want to go the extra mile to get it right, the first time and every time.
We like to work with our customers to really collaborate and understand your business needs and what you do. Our storage systems are customer-focused and uncompromising in both quality and safety standards.
We build relationships, not just racking and, importantly, we know the buck stops with us.
Our values are what drive our team and every month we celebrate and recognise individuals who have gone above and beyond in demonstrating one or more of our company values…
- ‘Take ownership’
- ‘Consider the customer with every decision’
- ‘Help build a supportive culture’
In 2020, after much reflection, internal discussion and an in-depth look at our values, the team decided on a new, company-wide goal;
‘To be our customer's number 1 choice.’
If Storepro is the customer’s number 1 choice after all projects and collaborations, then clients know we ARE small enough to care yet big enough to deliver.
To make our goal a reality, our customers need to know we are a trusted advisor and that our abundance of knowledge and experience can genuinely raise the level of their business.
Our values of taking ownership; considering the customer with every decision; building a supportive culture; will enable us to realise our vision to be our customer’s first choice.
