Waikato Innovation Park Limited

About

Waikato's vibrant business growth hub

Waikato Innovation Park provides a dynamic business campus where collaboration between business and research organisations drives commercial growth for our resident companies. The first building - Gallagher Core Facilities Building - was opened in February 2004, and the Tetra Pak - now CRV Ambreed - building was completed in 2009. In 2012, the Park built FoodWaikato, a spray drying facility for New Zealand Food Innovation. Since then, a wet-side capability has been constructed for FoodWaikato and Tetra Pak have moved into a new building, which accommodates the whole of its Oceania design team and mechanical testing and proving workshop. Spread across 17 hectares of land, the plan is to construct a total of 16 buildings to house clusters of companies in the agritechnology, ICT and food and beverage sectors.

Today, the Park houses over 50 companies employing more than 400 people on site. 73% of the Park's companies are exporters, and collectively earnings are well in excess of $400million in 2016. The size and scale of our tenant mix is varied – from early stage companies like Quantec and Zygem through to multi-nationals like TetraPak and CRV Ambreed.

FoodWaikato is a subsidiary company of Waikato Innovation Park, and has successfully established itself as a quality spray drying plant offering open access to NZ producers and product developers.
