Exeloo - California State Accredited

30 Apr 2025

Exeloo is a leading manufacturer of prefabricated public restrooms in New Zealand, Australia and the USA and is carving a reputation as a premier facilities provider in the State of California. Often individual States require accreditation by third party inspectors to ensure the production processes meets state guidelines. Since 2019 Exeloo has invested in system and process upgrades to ensure we meet and exceed the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requirements for modular structures.

Exeloo in California

As a participant in the US market for over 20 years Exeloo has teamed up with cities from California to Georgia and from Texas to Michigan. Wherever Exeloo is present we partner with local councils to build trusted supply and maintenance networks that ensure the best results for local communities for their automatic public restrooms for urban and recreational spaces.

California State-Approved Supplier

In California, HCD approval is critical to making doing business easier. It means our Exeloo restroom units are California State-Approved do not require individual municipal building permits for procurement and installation. This streamlines procurement and signoff processes for the local cities, reducing time and cost helping us build preferred partner status with cities and parks and recreation departments.

The Process

To earn state approval, Exeloo undergoes a rigorous auditing process undertaken by third party inspectors from Intertek, a globally recognised assessor. Intertek representatives visit our Henderson factory each year and spend 2-3 days evaluating the company’s systems and processes. They assess the design process, Quality Assurance systems and material selection ensuring ethical sourcing and sustainability. Staff interviews and product inspections are part of this thorough review and cross-checking to ensuring compliance with California’s stringent building standards.

Benefits of HCD accreditation

This accreditation represents a mark of excellence for those that invest and participate in the program and is just another way to highlight our commitment to excellence and the responsibilities placed on us by the communities in California. Accreditation is evidence that Exeloo is a trusted innovator capable of meeting the demands of California as a state that highly values sustainability and ethical contract performance. The approval not only enhances our own operational efficiency but also proves that small Kiwi businesses can compete and excel internationally.

“Our people have benefited and grown with exposure to international standards that set very high benchmarks. This in turn has also benefited our domestic and Australian customers as our materials and process approach has evolved to create a more sustainable delivery program. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the State of California and Intertek to deliver the best of New Zealand to the world and the best of the world to New Zealand” - Craig van Asch, Managing Director, Exeloo.
