Christchurch's Humanware deal on aids for blind
The Press bar Monday, 03 December 2007
GPC Electronics has secured a contract to supply Humanware,
another Christchurch manufacturer, equipment for its hi-tech aids
for the blind.
GPC is now Humanware's preferred supplier for its New Zealand
products and will supply it with printed circuit boards for a
variety of products.
Humanware supply chain and logistics manager John Marshall said
the firm had undertaken a thorough international sourcing review
to find a partner.
"We were impressed with their local technical and operations
support capability combined with their ability to manufacture
globally depending on our continually evolving requirements,"
Marshall said.
The manufacturing had previously been done by two other New
Zealand companies.
GPC chief executive Frank Owen would not say how much the deal
was worth to GPC, but said Humanware was an important customer.
He would not say if the contract would enable it to hire more
staff, after GPC made up to 14 staff redundant in September.
GPC is an Australian-owned firm, and has an annual turnover of
more than $100 million. It set up in Christchurch in 2001 and is
New Zealand's largest contract electronics manufacturer.

Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. Each day we
hope for accomplishment and satisfaction and we'll achieve these
when we scale our hopes to our real capacities. There's no more
satisfying feeling than finishing a project we've set up
ourselves, tailored to our abilities, and worked at with patience
and care. Our lives can be filled with such successes. Learning
to live means learning to keep ourselves in the present. This
day is all we really have to work with. Of course today will be
influenced by what has already happened; and its influence will
extend to tomorrow, next week, and beyond. But all we can make
or do lies here, within this window of space and time. May my
supper be contentment. I'll breakfast on hope again.
