Background
The workshops are at our rural property "The Park" situated five kilometers East of Otane in Central Hawkes Bay which is on the East Coast on the North Island.
Having spent several years as semi-professional polo player on the international circuit, I'm well aware of the demands of discerning polo players. I've spent more time and effort than anyone else on Earth developing the composite polo mallet.
We source the best possible materials from around the world and craft them into high performance sports goods. This is coupled with prompt and attentive customer service. Approximately 85% of our turnover is exported to over 50 different countries. Many of our customers go to the trouble of letting us know how happy they are with our products. Some of these comments may be read at user comments polo or croquet.
We also have a joint-venture factory in Jakarta, Indonesia, which manufactures cricket bat handles and selected cane articles for export.
Fidel Russ
Fidel Russ emigrated from Argentina to New Zealand in 1990 and is the production manager. He's a true craftsman who is proud of his workmanship. His motto is that, “If it's not perfect, it's not good enough". Fidel’s nephew Federico Iñón also works for the business and is our lathe operator.
The Park Homestead
“The Park” homestead was built in 1881 and is our family home. Many croquet matches are played on the front lawn and our products are well tested.
