Buy NZ Made
The Buy New Zealand Made campaign began in 1988. Its emphasis is to encourage consumers and organisations to buy New Zealand goods and services. Most people share the common 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.
Buy New Zealand Campaign is delighted to welcome Essilor as a member of the Campaign
Marcia Dunnett, Director of Buy New Zealand Campaign.
Nine out of ten Kiwis say they prefer to buy products made in New Zealand, where price and quality are the same. For a product to carry the Kiwi trade mark of the Buy New Zealand Made Campaign (shown here) it must be made in New Zealand.
It's a wonderful opportunity with our products being recognised by the Buy New Zealand Made campaign and for Essilor New Zealand to be associated with the stylised kiwi

Essilor is the world's leading manufacturer of spectacle lenses, pioneering the development of a range of lenses and lens coating to cater to a myriad of eyesight problems. The most recent product, Varilux Physio using wavefront analysis and Advanced Digital surfacing has proven its technological edge and has been embraced by many practitioners as their progressive lens of choice.
Essilor New Zealand works on the "think globally ?¢?Ǩ?Äú act locally" principle. Essilor started its operation in New Zealand in 1998 and since then, has built a solid reputation as one of the leading supplier of lenses to optical retailers around the country. With either its own manufacturing laboratories or joint ventures with local partners, Essilor New Zealand is unlike other lens companies who depend on Australian manufacturing facilities. In addition, Essilor has the technological and financial support of its international parent company based in France. Essilor New Zealand employs over 120 New Zealand staff and has offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch.
Essilor is committed to local practices. We manufacture locally providing faster turn around and better support to the New Zealand market
