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.
