What you should know about Knight Of New ZeAland, Limited
Knights pioneered the sheepskin garment industry in New Zealand and very soon export markets were developed in Australia followed by U. In 1985 the senior management and marketing executives of Knights purchased the company in a management buy out from Fletcher Challenge. It was at this time that the company moved to its current premises at 21 Leven Street. In 1990 the company name was changed to Knight of New Zealand Ltd. However, the tailoring background has enhanced Knight's ability to customise garments for their clients. Knight's is still owned by the original management and marketing shareholder group, with the addition of Phil Mollison Australian marketing office and Peter Coggs of Munich, Germany who is the exclusive marketing agent for Knights in Europe.
All North American sales are marketed through Knight's marketing office in The World Trade Center in Dallas, Texas. Knight of New Zealand has won a number of Fashion and Export awards In 1977 the New Zealand Government awarded the Company its first Export Award and, in the same year, Knights won the Benson Hedges Fashion Award for Ladies Men's Sports outer wear. For the next five years in succession, Knights won High Priority Exporter awards from the New Zealand Government. This prestigious award is presented annually to only one company in the whole country, and Knights beat off much larger companies in attaining this.
In 1994 the company achieved the Internationally recognised quality standard ISO9001, followed 12 months later by ISO9002 for excellence also in design. In 2002 Knight of New Zealand made headlines by winning the contract to make the Australian Olympic team's opening ceremony coats for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA. The garments also had a specially embossed leather label with the Official Australian Olympic team Logo, also supplied by Knights. The story broke in Australia and New Zealand at the official uniform preview in Melbourne, that a New Zealand company had supplied an important part of the Australian National Team uniform. Many well known people have purchased Knight's garments, from Hollywood stars like Cher to British Royal Prince Edward.
On a visit to Australia Cher called into Knight's Melbourne marketing office and purchased several Knight's products, including a custom made garment for her son which was shipped from New Zealand direct to Vail, Colorado in time for a skiing holiday. Prince Edward undertook part of his training as a Student Teacher in Wanganui, New Zealand. Following a visit to the factory from then Prime Minister of New Zealand the Right Honourable David Lange in 1989, the New Zealand Government commissioned Knights to make a Shearling garment for the Prime Minister of Canada Mr
