The Sistema Story
It is a remarkable achievement. To build a product line from your garage in New Zealand to a point 20 years later where it is exported to over 25 countries around the world and counts its customers in the millions.

Managing Director Brendan Lindsay is proud of his success and that of his team at their state of the art 200,000 sq foot factory in New Zealand. The name Sistema means system in Italian and that is how the concept was formed. Taking the simple premise that customers would want a well made, beautifully designed, food safe storage container that would be stackable, the Sistema range was born. |
The Klip It collection with its distinctive blue clips launched the company into the Australian and New Zealand markets. That range has now been added to with the release of the Microwave and To Go family of products designed for added convenience.
Sistema products are now stocked by many of the world's largest retailers and exported to over 25 countries in the world.
