We’re focused on staying tuned into the needs of each of our export markets, and for us this means being true to our core value of being ‘customer inspired’.

The company has three manufacturing sites in New Zealand – and offshore subsidiaries in Melbourne (Australia), Kansas City (United States), Nuneaton (United Kingdom), Johannesburg (South Africa) and Owen Sound (Canada).
