Business North August 2022

| 49 Arvida Group - Te Puna Waiora LIFESTYLE Te Puna Waiora will offer one-, two- and three-bedroom villas. People continue to move north and the Ultimate Kitchens manufacturing facility is busy producing the high quality kitchens and cabinetry they need to set up their homes and businesses in Kerikeri and the Far North. The migration is a major driving force of Ultimate Kitchens’ growth and has seen it working on a variety of residential and commercial projects, including Arvida’s Te Puna Waiora. One of Ultimate Kitchens’ directors John Dunn says that being close to Te Puna Waiora, along with manufacturing locally, means it can be extremely responsive to Arvida’s needs and has helped insulate fromCovid related supply chain disruptions. “We can organise our work to suit our customer requirements meaning quick delivery of the product when they need it,” he says. Heavy investment has been made in the factory in top end Homag CNC equipment.
