2015

Standing by NZ Made

Arrow establishes onsite embroidery and printing facilities. By 2021, we are customising 5,000+ garments per week.

As more manufacturing moves offshore, Arrow increase its local manufacturing capabilities, expanding our range and ensuring continued supply of New Zealand made product with fast turnarounds and smaller production runs.

New HQ

In late 2023, Arrow moves into its brand new, purpose built premises at 3 Barley Mow Lane, Silverstream.
