Folders is a proudly family-owned and operated retailer based in Kaitaia, New Zealand. Founded by the Walker family, Folders began as a small stationery shop and has grown into one of Northland’s largest showrooms for appliances, electronics, and furniture. Driven by a commitment to personalised service and innovation, the company has expanded its reach nationwide through its online platform, folders.co.nz.

The company's origins trace back to the 1990s when Ian and Anne Walker, former advertising professionals turned dairy farmers, purchased a struggling stationery store in Kaitaia. Responding to community needs, they expanded into IT and appliances, eventually establishing Folders. Their sons, bringing expertise in biomedical engineering and chemical process engineering, contributed to the technological advancements that underpin Folders' operations today.

Folders offers a diverse range of products, including home appliances, furniture, electronics, and kitchenware, featuring reputable brands like Fisher & Paykel, Haier, SleepMaker, and Sunbeam. Their online store provides a user-friendly shopping experience, complete with dynamic customer reviews and daily price updates to ensure competitive pricing .

To facilitate efficient nationwide delivery, Folders operates a distribution center in Auckland and offers convenient Click & Collect services at locations in Hobsonville and Penrose. Despite its growth, the company maintains its commitment to exceptional customer service, ensuring that customers interact with knowledgeable staff rather than automated systems.

With a history rooted in community engagement and a focus on innovation, Folders continues to thrive as a testament to the success of local businesses in the digital age.
