Buy NZ Made!

Here at Patch we're proud of our "Made in NZ" status, and would like to encourage New Zealanders to buy New Zealand made! Most people share the inclination to support their own local community ahead of outsiders and the success of the "Buy New Zealand" campaign has been greatly helped by the well recognised stylised kiwi logo. The "Buy NZ Made" campaign started in 1988! So it is very well recognised in representing those companies, like ourselves, who are dedicated to producing quality products made by New Zealanders, for New Zealanders.

In a recent telephone poll, of 529 people in a month, researchers found 59 percent of New Zealanders said they made a point of buying New Zealand-made goods and an additional 13 per cent sad it depended on what the goods were. A mere twenty-eight per cent said they didn't make a point of buying New Zealand-made. The poll was part of Research New Zealand's monthly survey of attitudes and opinions and was not on behalf of any organisation.

When you buy a New Zealand produced product or service, you're helping to create jobs and promote growth in our country. So you're giving our country a huge benefit when you buy NZ made rather than from another country. We can be proud of the quality of our products.
