A highly productive manufacturing advantage
Manufacturing in New Zealand is characterised by skilled specialists designing and manufacturing innovative products that integrate value added components (intellectual property, software, electronics and sensors etc) into extremely precise and flexible low-volume manufacturing processes. Our companies are generally small, lean and very flexible. With lower market rates, New Zealand’s workforce holds a cost advantage over many other OECD countries. New Zealand’s stable economy and political system, protective intellectual property regime and exclusive Australasian and Pacific Rim free trade agreements make it an increasingly attractive prospect for long-term investment.
