Whittaker's Peanut Slabs, Norsewear Farm Fleck Socks, Resene Paint and McKinlays Shoes have one thing in common - they're all Kiwi Made. These well-known national brands are featured as part of the Dunedin New Zealand Made Showcase which will be held in the Dunedin Centre tomorrow, Thursday 12 April.
"The New Zealand Made Showcase in Dunedin, is part of a wider government programme to celebrate and promote New Zealand made products and manufacturing success. New Zealanders will have the opportunity to explore these and other iconic kiwi products at the showcase," Sue Bradford, Government Spokesperson for Buy Kiwi Made said today.
"The $11.5 million campaign also aims to increase consumer recognition of branding that identifies products as New Zealand made and promote voluntary branding and labelling for that purpose," said Ms Bradford.
