Fisher & Paykel, one of New Zealand's truly global companies celebrated 10 years since the establishment of their German office. The celebrations were held in Dusseldorf at the Medica exhibition, the largest exhibition for medical technology and equipment in the world.
Fisher & Paykel's stand was one amongst thousands but being themed on New Zealand rainforest and featuring performances by Manaia it certainly stood out amongst the rest and attracted plenty of visitors. Manaia's role was to support the exhibition and provide some well needed entertainment. With some of our top Maori performers sourced from Germany and the UK, Manaia performed haka, waiata, poi, demonstrated weaponry and Maori traditional instruments. We spoke about our culture, our country and our traditions. And of course, the audience were given the chance to talk to Fisher & Paykel staff about what they can offer.
The 10th birthday was celebrated on a boat, the MS Heidelberg on the River Rhine with a gala dinner with the New Zealand Ambassador with some magic from Manaia.
