Paintball Factory (New Zealand)
Paintball Factory was a New Zealand online paintball equipment retailer based in Feilding, Manawatū. Its archived website documents sales of paintballs, markers, playing equipment and accessories in 2020–2022, alongside links with tournaments at Arena Paintball. [1][2][3]

By January 2022, the website listed 558 Kimbolton Road, Feilding, the address of Arena Paintball. Its catalogue included Planet Eclipse markers, Virtue loaders and goggles, HK Army equipment, Carbon products and Field One equipment. [2][3]
Tournament involvement
[edit]The 2021 Paintball Factory Cup was listed for 24–25 April 2021 at Arena Paintball. The PBLeagues event record identifies eight paid entries in its open five-player division. [4]
Arena Paintball's announcements for its 2022 five-player Race series directed teams to Paintball Factory's website for paintball pricing. The advertised rounds were scheduled for 16–17 April, 4–5 June and 22–23 October. [3]
