Strict Standards Build Consumer Trust

New Zealand is known for some of the world’s strictest biosafety, safety, and process standards. These high standards are the foundation of the country’s reputation in the natural health sector.

At Unipharm, quality and compliance begin at the source. Raw materials are cultivated and raised under strict controls, free from synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, or chemical fertilizers. Our partner farms follow organic agricultural practices, and livestock are raised in line with animal welfare regulations.

Our manufacturing facilities adhere to rigorous GMP and HACCP protocols. The production environment is maintained to pharmaceutical-grade standards, featuring advanced air purification systems and sanitization equipment. Equipment is regularly maintained, and personnel are professionally trained and certified.

Before products leave our factory, they undergo multi-layered quality testing, including ingredient verification, microbiological testing, and safety assessments. Our on-site lab is fully equipped to perform detailed and accurate testing, ensuring every product that reaches the market is safe and effective.

These uncompromising standards have earned New Zealand health products a global reputation for quality, safety, and integrity.

Thriving Industry, Expanding Markets

New Zealand's natural health product industry is valued at NZD 2.3 billion annually and continues to grow rapidly.

New Zealand-made supplements have already gained strong footholds in major markets such as Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe, validating both product quality and market competitiveness. Unipharm, too, benefits from this global reach, with steady demand from around the world.

Behind this success lies a robust foundation of strict manufacturing laws, world-leading animal health standards, and progressive employee welfare policies. These ensure consistently high product quality, a stable and motivated workforce, and safe use of animal-based ingredients, all of which are key to long-term industry growth.

Trade Advantages Fuel Growth

In the current global trade landscape, New Zealand offers exceptional economic advantages for supplement manufacturing, making it one of the most attractive production hubs in the world. Free Trade Agreements with countries like China and South Korea eliminate tariffs on imported ingredients and equipment—significantly lowering costs. Similarly, exports to these markets are also duty-free, enhancing our products' price competitiveness.

Most notably, New Zealand enjoys highly favorable tariff terms with the United States, with just a 10% reciprocal duty—among the lowest globally. For instance: U.S. brands manufacturing in New Zealand and exporting to China pay 0% tariff; Chinese brands producing in New Zealand and exporting to the U.S. pay only 10%; U.S. brands exporting back to the U.S. from New Zealand also pay 0%, even when using raw materials from China or Korea. These trade benefits give New Zealand-made supplements a distinct edge in global markets and have helped attract a growing number of international clients to Unipharm, further driving industry growth.

With its passion for health, pristine environment, fusion of tradition and science, constant innovation, rigorous standards, robust industry scale, and significant trade advantages, New Zealand plays a vital role in the global health supplement landscape. As part of this ecosystem, Unipharm remains committed to driving innovation and delivering premium products to consumers worldwide.
