Nz's New Trade Push

New Zealand manufacturers aren’t letting the grass grow under them in Fiji. Following the success of last July’s trade fair in Suva, the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation is mounting a follow up this July, to take care of the furnishing trades.

So many manufacturers wanted to get into the export act at the last Suva Fair that the organisers had to exclude certain categories. The em phasis next July will be on carpets, light fittings, interior building hard ware, furniture, soft furnishings, table ware and glass.

New Zealand’s expertise in the manufacture of carpet is well known in the Pacific—you’ll walk on Kiwi wool in hotels from Hong Kong to Tahiti. Carpet men will be prominent at the Suva Fair, together with manu facturers of all the other bits and pieces that go to make up the interiors of houses, offices and hotels.
