The FernMark Licence Programme is the Government’s official ‘country of origin’ accreditation programme designed to protect and promote New Zealand products to the world. That means smith&burton products have met the New Zealand Government’s eligibility criteria as well as being locally owned it also requires that licensed smith&burton products are made, grown or designed in New Zealand.
This ‘tick of approval’ should give you huge amounts of confidence in what you’re buying. The FernMark proudly endorses those who support the values of our nation. When you see the FernMark you can be confident that it represents a product born of New Zealand.
Ultimately, the FernMark Licence Programme delivers consumer trust. Carrying the FernMark means New Zealand companies are able to authenticate their products as being from New Zealand, while consumers can trust that they're buying authentic products. And in turn, the Programme entrusts us to represent New Zealand at its best. It's a win-win situation.
Being able to make our products in our home country and sell these locally and around the world means a lot to us. We are extremely grateful for the support of our New Zealand customers. Through their support of our locally owned business they help support our local supply chain partners, putting money back into our community and in turn this support has allowed us to grow at home and internationally.
We are honoured to join the other amazing New Zealand brands in the FernMark stable.
