Established in 2019, New Zealand Made Day falls on 21st November every year to celebrate New Zealand Made. Hundreds of businesses across Aotearoa New Zealand get involved to share their NZ Made story, products, services and the team behind them. Kiwis are encouraged to get behind their favourite Kiwi business and support local in the lead-up to Christmas.
About NZ Made DAy
New Zealand Made Day is held on 21st November every year. It is a celebration of NZ Made businesses, products and services.
Kiwi shoppers are urged to buy better and support local businesses on New Zealand Made Day, after one of the most testing periods ever for Kiwi retailers and manufacturers. Kiwis are encouraged to buy at least one locally made item from participating retailers to give businesses a boost in the lead-up to Christmas.
Faced with growing economic uncertainty, supporting New Zealand brands is more crucial than ever. Small businesses with less than 20 employees make up 97% of all businesses and employ 29% of workers in New Zealand. We encourage everyone to get behind NZ businesses and support local - a little goes a long way!
