TARANAKI ENGINEERING COMPANY A TRUE KIWI INNOVATOR all over the world, as well as domestically. Its innovative approach in designing ground-breaking trailer and towing products amongst other things was matched by an impressive ability to identify, define and service potential markets globally - something it has been doing with repeated success for the past three decades. Of particular note was the remarkable story of its TrackGrip traction enhancer for vehicles which is now blazing a trail in the USA, Canada, UK and Australia as well as New Zealand and has massive further future potential. “I am absolutely elated. We are so excited and I just didn’t believe it when we received the phone call," says Carac founder John Burling. "We have always been very proud of our NZ Made status and tell the world we are 100% Kiwi at every opportunity we can. It's especially rewarding to be recognised for our innovation, which we have always believed is a key ingredient for making any Kiwi company successful on the world stage." As the Ultimate Hero, Carac will receive a trophy and certificate, artwork displaying their Ultimate Hero status and an advertorial in a magazine of their choice (from a selection of approved magazines) that includes information about their award, Buy NZ Made and other content of their choice.
