Specialised dairy and nutritional products company New Image says it has increased production by 50 per cent in response to higher demand resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company, which delisted from the NZX in 2013 when founder-chairman Graeme Clegg took it private, said there had been a 75 per cent increase in demand through its direct selling channel over the past few months.
New Image Group exports nutritional products, colostrum supplements, infant formula products and a range of consumer-ready milk powders throughout China, Hong Kong and South East Asia and Africa.
