The Story of Covermania

Our Story


To make lasting products that are functional and have a high standard of quality.

Sebastian Obermeier established CoverMania in 2005 after having worked for 25 years in the international sail and canvas industry.

“Quality is paramount to me, and my aim is to produce high standard long lasting products to the complete satisfaction of my clients.”

Sebastian started working in the industry when he joined his father’s business, Obermeier Segel (Sails), in 1988 in Germany. During this time he completed an apprenticeship as a Sailmaker. After a short stint sailmaking in Australia he moved to NZ where he worked for 5 years for Boyd & MacMasters, Doyle Sails and Dave Giddens Sailmakers. He next worked with Cool Awnings for 7 Years during which time he started Covermania in 2005 as a sole trader and incorporated the company in 2008.
