About Us
Who we are
MARDAG was founded in 1988 by the van Rijssel family. Their vision was to build a reputable company and introduce Europe’s leading electrical products to the New Zealand market.
An exclusive trading agreement was signed with a German manufacturer in 1992, which became the first of many contracts with global suppliers. Since then, MARDAG has introduced some of Europe’s finest electrical products to the New Zealand market and brought a wealth of technical skills and experience to the industry.
MARDAG continues to be family owned and operated. Representing over 35 European manufacturers and delivering innovative electrical products and technical support to Kiwi businesses.
You can trust us to bring you reliable and innovative electrical supplies to meet the needs of your business.

Boof
Wellbeing Ambassador
Woof! I started life as a working dog, and let’s just say those early days weren’t exactly tail-wagging material. I wasn’t very happy, and life felt a bit ruff. Luckily, my Dad (MARDAG’s Business Development Manager, Aaron Woolley) adopted me, and that’s when things really started looking up. Since then I’ve been living my very best doggy life.
I’m always happy to lend a paw to Treena and the team and help make the office a fun and healthy place to be.
It’s paw-sitively wonderful to “work” at MARDAG as their Wellbeing Ambassador
