Where it all began
Our founders Dan Young and Andrew Horton started the Stoked story back in 2010.
When the boys began experimenting with their stainless steel spa design, there wasn’t anything else like it in the world. Using offcuts from the steel tanks they were producing in their day jobs, two prototype tubs were built to test the comfort and size, and soon, friends and family were asking when they could buy one. Those first two prototypes are still very much in service today (Andrew still has a copy of the first cheque for the sale of Tub#1).
So, in 2012 Stoked was registered as a company and things truly began to take shape.
By 2016, Stoked had over a hundred sales in the order book and it was time to shift gears. Setting up a purpose-built factory in Wānaka was the next milestone. A clear statement of confidence from a brand setting a new standard for durability, aesthetics and customer service.
Stoked is a brand built on enduring values of sustainability, personal service and elegant design. Today, the organisation is still steered by the original duo, supported by a team of 18 from Wānaka, New Zealand.
