At Ribon, we're redefining what's possible in soffit and fascia design. Our mission is to streamline construction with a system that’s easy to install, built to last, and architecturally refined. By using high-quality materials that builders and architects already trust, we eliminate uncertainty and deliver a product that enhances both performance and design. All of this while providing a service equally as superior as our products.
Ribon began with a simple question: why make soffits harder than they need to be? Founder Keith Russell, a contractor with years of experience, saw firsthand how traditional soffit installations required multiple trades, excessive materials, and unnecessary complexity. Determined to find a better way, in 2007 he developed an integrated, interlocking soffit system, one that seamlessly simplifies installation, reduces waste, and ensures a sleek, consistent finish every time. Today, Ribon is trusted across New Zealand for its innovation, efficiency, and aesthetic excellence.
We’re committed to delivering soffit and fascia solutions that work for everyone: builders, architects, and developers alike. With Ribon, you get:
