For the first time in 25 years, Arnott's will again manufacture products in New Zealand.

The company is opening its new facility in Avondale, West Auckland today.

It comes after it acquired the 180 Degrees cracker brand two years ago.

Arnott's New Zealand Country Director Mike Cullerne told Kate Hawkesby it'll allow them to make more locally made products.

He says they've partnered with Barkers of Geraldine to make a new shortbread range coming next month.
