Auckland manufacturer and distributor of colostrum-based supplements, New Image International, celebrated its 40th anniversary this month.

About 200 local and international guests, including David Seymour, Minister of Regulation, and Judith Collins, Attorney-General and Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, attended the event at the Ellerslie Event Centre.

Overseas guests included delegates from Australia, Malaysia, South Africa, Taiwan and Vietnam. The event was livestreamed in four different languages - English, Mandarin Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, and Greek - reaching 230,000 people online across the world. The event also coincide with a group of 220 Taiwan-based New Image distributors who had qualified for travel to New Zealand.

Reflecting on the past four decades, executive chairman and founder Graeme Clegg said he is proud to see New Image contributing to and improving the health and financial outcomes for large numbers of people around the world.

"The company started from humble beginnings in Masterton back in 1984. To see New Image grow into a global leader in the nutrition and supplements industry with customers and distributors in over 22 countries across four continents from New Zealand to South Korea makes me incredibly proud and grateful to our team for what we've accomplished."

With a diverse portfolio of over 30 products catering to large numbers of customers globally, New Image has expanded beyond supplements and nutrition. This includes the acquisition of skincare and cosmetics company 'Nutrimetics' and the acquisition of Food Innovation Waikato and its major milk powder drying facility to enhance New Zealand colostrum production. The company is also working with the University of Waikato to manage a range of research projects around the health and wellness benefits of milk products.

New Image chief executive Rod Taylor said the company continues to be driven by innovation and research and is ready for its next stage of growth.
