From the age of 4 I’ve been drawn to the wilderness, deer stalking and fishing with my Granddad, and when I was old enough to run (fast) we were off pig hunting. I was often barefoot with nothing but a bow and arrow and a piece of rope slung over my shoulder, lassoing 10 point stags, hauling in 20 pound fish and jumping on the backs of dirty old boars, well that’s how I remember it anyway...I tell a good yarn but from the age of 4, that’s when my passion for hunting was born.
Well that’s the story of Managing Director Daniel Taitoko, sounds impressive right? Just like the products we manufacture here at Mate NZ. We take the best quality textiles and turn them into practical, affordable hunting accessories, nothing schmancy, just good quality NZ made products.
We source all of our own textiles and handcraft them in our very own factory in Levin, the fact we manufacture our own products gives us a distinct advantage, we can alter any one of our products to suit your needs, it’s that easy.
