Registry
An index of producers who make things in New Zealand: not designed here and made elsewhere, but made here.
A producer is listed once we have public evidence, such as the maker’s own statement, a label or a factory, that the work is done in New Zealand. Listing is free, needs no application and carries no obligation. Producers can ask for a correction or removal at any time.
Producers who want more than a listing can apply for certification, or bring a new product to be incubated with us.
Listed
Made in New Zealand, verified from public evidence. Entered by the Institute; the producer does nothing.
No fee.
Certified
An assessment of how and where the work is done, with a site visit. Certified producers may use the Institute’s mark and are reassessed every three years.
By application. Fee scaled to turnover.
Incubated
A new product developed with a producer, from prototype to first run, and introduced through the Institute’s catalogue.
By application. Terms agreed per project.
Certification
Certification asks for more than the place of manufacture. It looks at whether a thing is made to last, whether it can be repaired, and how the people who make it are treated.
| Origin | Where each stage of manufacture happens, and how much of the material is from New Zealand. |
|---|---|
| Durability | Materials and construction chosen for a long working life, and a warranty that stands behind them. |
| Repair | Spare parts, a repair or restoration service, and instructions that let owners look after the thing themselves. |
| Work | Pay, conditions and training, including apprentices and the passing on of the trade. |
| Continuity | How long the product has been made, and the plan for it to go on being made. |
- Declaration. The producer describes the products to be certified, the sites where they are made, where materials come from, and who does the work.
- Assessment. The Institute scores the declaration against the five areas above and asks for evidence where needed.
- Visit. We visit the workshop or factory and see the product being made.
- Decision. Certification is granted, or deferred with written reasons and what would change the result.
- Renewal. A short declaration each year and a full reassessment every three years. Certification lapses if manufacture moves offshore.
Incubation
For a producer with the skill and the plant to make something new, or an old product worth making again. We work on the brief, the prototype and the first production run together, and the finished product is introduced in the catalogue.
To apply for certification or incubation, write to info@johannesbay.com. The same address takes corrections and removals.
Index
Producers are numbered in the order they were entered. The link goes to the producer, or to the stockist whose page carries the evidence.
