    Waikato Region

    Waikato is a rich, viable investment area blessed with immense natural beauty and natural resources aplenty. It has a large population, promises to grow substantially in economic importance and is a treasure trove of opportunity for both locals and foreign investors.

    Invest in Waikato, one of New Zealand’s premier economic and lifestyle centres, and reap the benefits of a developing and potentially prosperous investment.

    Manufacturing and
    Production Powerhouse

    New Zealand is world-famous for dairy production, and the Waikato region is set to become one of the country’s biggest dairy products producers.

    Economic opportunities in the Waikato region have been steadily growing due to the ever-expanding dairy farming business, which accounts for a significant portion of the national GDP.

    The food processing and agriculture industry makes up most of the nation’s engineering and production quota. While it is a growing business, dairy farming and processing is an extremely profitable business venture.

    Its infrastructure and noteworthy education and research centres make Waikato a tremendous landscape for manufacturing, processing and high-value research.

    Waikato’s Regional Prosperity

    According to a report by Statistics New Zealand, the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Auckland, Tauranga and Hamilton is expected to experience GDP growth of 83 percent by 2025.

    The Waikato District Council has developed a number of economic policies and frameworks to direct and guide community development and investment projects. These will aid large business and investors looking to take advantage of the infrastructure and geographic advantage.

    Quickly becoming a logistics hub within the region, Waikato is now home to one of New Zealand’s most prominent economic routes. The Waikato Expressway, a $100 million project, is set to cement Waikato as a key strategic corridor. Coupled with its high-value manufacturing industry, Waikato is a future logistics and manufacturing hub for the wider region.

    Asia-Pacific Region
    -
    Auckland

    Auckland enjoys a reputation as the economic hub of the entire South Pacific region, due to its constantly growing trading capacity and suitable location. It is a premier investment and production destination for international investors.

    Globally Connected

    Situated to the north of the North Island, Auckland has harbours on both sides, which makes it New Zealand’s primary shipping port. Auckland’s international airport is the largest in the country, with daily flights to North America, Middle East, North and Southeast Asia, Europe and the South Pacific.

    Largest and Most Populous City
    in New Zealand

    Auckland’s population accounts for a third of New Zealand’s total population, making it the centre of the country’s economic and infrastructure. It contributes 35 percent of the national GDP and is home to the majority of New Zealand’s top 200 companies and a quarter of its Fortune 500 firms.

    Industry and Trade Centre

    Auckland is a highly developed and technologically advanced city with a global reach. The local workforce possesses innovation, research and development capabilities, making Auckland New Zealand’s primary business centre.

The reason for this is its economic stability, incredible natural beauty, wonderful environment and high quality of life, all of which combine to make Auckland a great place to live and do business.

  • World-renowned
    Production
    Base of
    Nutritional Foods

    New Zealand is a haven for the dairy, apiary and nutritional food industries. The country has long been out of reach of the negative impacts of industrialization, making the produce grown and raised here safe, extremely hygienic and pollution-free.

    Renowned for its purity and mellow flavour, New Zealand’s local produce has made the country a world-famous production base for nutritional foods, apiary products and dairy products.

    Sustainable Practices Leading to Safer Products

    Farmers, beekeepers and dairy owners across the country have introduced state-of-the-art production technology to generate the greatest value from their produce. This injection of hi-tech tools into traditional farming and animal husbandry practices has helped manufactures enhance their production and operational capabilities. The new tools have resulted in the development of highly sustainable products that are safe and healthy to consume.

    World-leading Innovation

    A culture of scientific study and development has developed as a result, leading to innovative breakthroughs in the dairy industry. New Zealand is the first country in the world to produce dairy cows that yield low-fat milk. Another innovation is the world’s first commercial goat milk infant formula, which is touted to have greater nutritional benefits than cow milk. The infant formula was a stepping stone to an even bigger creation: New Zealand is the proud originator of a series of special high-quality goat milk formulae that is set to change the way bottled milk is consumed.

    Uncompromising Food Safety Standards

    Today, the dairy and apiary industries have set standards to actively track their processes in real-time, which help them detect the key touch points for contamination. Apiarists have developed measures to analyse the antibacterial active ingredient level in products for increased consumer safety.

    New Zealand is renowned for its ability to trace the source of all ingredients and materials to their point of origin. This is primarily a result of efforts by the New Zealand government to set up strict rules and regulations for production, processing and transportation processes to be followed within organizations.

    A World-class Gourmet Selection

    New Zealand produces some of the world’s most delectable and nutritionally-high foods and beverages, some of which include:

    • Organic products: calcium capsules, colostrum, milk powder and cheese
    • Dairy products: milk powder, butter, cream, low-fat, high-calcium and high-protein milk
    • Healthcare products: vitamins and minerals
    • Soft encapsulated products: wheatgerm oil, deep-sea fish oil, lecithin, shark cartilage and squalene
    • Apiary products: royal jelly, propolis and honey

  • Project
    Mission

    Upholding the spirit of continued innovation and dedication, Pokeno Nutritional Park is committed to capitalising on its unique industrial clusters in nutritional food processing. The project promises to support associated industry partners and guide the development of nutritional food projects and services to enhance both the industry and society, while achieving a green future with sustainable development. The overarching vision is to create New Zealand’s first nutritional food processing and development park on the global market.

    Project
    Vision

    With modern consumers’ increasing awareness of healthy living and the booming development of the global nutritional food market, Pokeno Nutritional Park will endeavour to become the world’s most reliable brand by macroscopically exploring new areas to promote its brands and producing high-quality, effective, nutritional foods.

    Maintaining and building on New Zealand as a world-class manufacturing hub with a vibrant economy and high standard of living, the concept seeks to reposition the region internationally as “a global manufacturing hub for nutritional food” and the southern hemisphere’s export gateway.

    Pokeno Nutritional Park aims to meet the global standards of professional design, standardized construction and functional support facilities by focusing on height, load bearing, fire safety, power distribution and other industrial components.

    When developed in conjunction with flexible drying towers, designed plant facilities not only accurately regulate airflow but also provide a dust-free workshop that meets the high standards of the industry. The plant facilities will also be fully equipped with international standard testing equipment and designed to support both the manufacturing and the innovation of high-quality products.

    Pokeno Nutritional Park will also incorporate intelligent warehousing logistics support systems, low-carbon environmental protection, functional diversification, stylish office buildings, product showrooms, car parks, industry tourism and leisure facilities. Additionally, the park will have an industry cluster public service platform that will offer an array of other industrial facilities, including testing exhibition, financing, logistics, trade, R&D design and common production.

    These services will not only promote a healthy cluster effect but also provide an environment conducive to technological innovation and the establishment of a regional culture based on similar values and ideas.
